Println - print line, adds a newline

Spaces & line breaks - no impact but


good practice; make programs easier to

variables
Variables
Variable - named location that stores a value

To store a value, create a variable

[Type][Variable name] => String bob

Declaration - declares the variable to be of type bob

Type - every variable must have a type

Int vs int; string vs String (compiler objection)


Variables 2
Variable names - indicate what the variable does

String firstName;

String lastName;

int hour, minute;

Declares multiple variables, same type

Quiz: hour & minute are of what type?


assignme
nt
assignment
Variables created, let's store values in them with:

Assignment statement

So far:

Declaring a variable, creates named storage location

Make assignment to variable, gives variable a value


Variables 2
Some strings look like integers but are not
Printing
variables

Print the value of a variable
Keywords
keywords
Keywords - names reserved by Java

E.g. public, class, void, int

Development environment warning

Visit here for complete list of keywords


operators
operators
Addition is +

Subtraction is -

Multiplication is *

Division is /

The result?

Integer division(rounds down) Solution? Multiply


by 100 & floats

Operands
Operators: order of
operations
Precedence

multiplication and division before addition and subtraction

Same precedence

Evaluated left to right

Use parentheses to override rules of precedence


Operators for strings
Mathematical operations cannot be performed on Strings

Except concatenation

=>

=>
???
Composition
All of these are fine

NOT okay =>
