Lesson 3 – Elementary Programming


Goal(s):
● To declare variables using numeric data types

● To write integer literals, floating-point literals, and literals in scientific notation

● To perform operations using operators +, - , * , /, and %

● To perform exponent operations using the pow(a,b) function

Primitive Data Types and Operations
Java has a variety of numeric types for integers and floating-point numbers with operators +, -
, *, /, and %.
The primitive data types are summarized in the following table. Please ignore the date types boolean
and char for the time being as they are non-numeric.

Table Source
Note: In this course, we’ll be using mostly int and double as numeric data types.

Numeric Operators
The operators for numeric data types include the standard arithmetic operators: addition (+),
subtraction (–), multiplication (*), division (/), and remainder (%), as shown in Table 2.2.
The operands are the values operated by an operator.

Modulus is very useful in programing. For example, an even number % 2 will always result in 0 and an
off number % 2 will always result in 1. So you use this property to determine whether a number is
even or odd.

If today is Saturday, it will be Saturday again in 7 days. Suppose you and your friends are going to
meet in 10 days. What day is in 10 days? You can find that day is Tuesday using the following
expression:
5
Exponent Operations
To write bn in C++, we use Math.pow(b, n). For example,

System.out.println(Math.pow(2.0,3)); //Displays 8.0

System.out.println(Math.pow(4.0,0.5)); //Displays 2.0

Note that you could also use Math.sqrt(4.0) to compute the same result as above.

System.out.println(Math.pow(2.5,2)); //Displays 6.25

System.out.println(Math.pow(2.5,-2)); //Displays 0.16

Assessment
1. Which of the following are the same as 52.534?

5.2534e+1, 0.52534e+2, 525.34e-1, 5.2534e+0


2. If today is Tuesday, what will be the day in 100 days? Show how you solved this.
3. What is the result of 25 / 4? How would you rewrite the expression if you wished the result
to be a floating-point number (decimal)?
4. Show the result of the following:

5. Are the following statements correct? If so, show the output.


6. Write a statement to display the result of 23.5.
7. Suppose m and c are integers. Write a Java expression for mc 2 to obtain a floating-point
result.
8. Word matching exercise

9. Which of the following data types require the most amount of memory?
