Chapter 2: Data Types, Variables, and Operators

Java is essential for data management through variables and data types, providing a foundation for programming. It includes primitive and non-primitive data types, as well as operators that manipulate data effectively. Understanding type casting and operators is crucial for controlling data flow and ensuring accurate calculations.

  • 2.2

    Java Tokens

    Java tokens are the smallest units of a Java program, categorized into five types: keywords, identifiers, literals, operators, and separators.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.3

    Variables In Java

    Variables in Java are containers used to store data, requiring a type declaration before usage.

  • 2.4

    Data Types In Java

    This section introduces the two main categories of data types in Java: primitive and non-primitive types, outlining their characteristics and uses.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.4.1

    A. Primitive Data Types

    Learning

  • 2.4.2

    B. Non-Primitive Data Types

    Non-Primitive Data Types in Java refer to data structures created by programmers, unlike Primitive Data Types which come built-in.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.5

    Type Casting

    Type casting is the conversion between different data types in Java, categorized as implicit and explicit casting.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.6

    Constants

    Constants in Java are defined using the `final` keyword, indicating that once assigned, their value cannot be changed.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.7

    Operators In Java

    This section covers various operators in Java, which are essential for performing operations on data types and variables.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.7.1

    A. Arithmetic Operators

    Arithmetic operators in Java are symbols that perform mathematical operations on numeric values.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.7.2

    B. Relational (Comparison) Operators

    Relational operators in Java are used to compare values and return boolean results.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.7.3

    C. Logical Operators

    Logical operators in Java are used to combine multiple conditions in expressions.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.7.4

    D. Assignment Operators

    This section covers assignment operators in Java, illustrating how they are used to assign values to variables with various shorthand notations.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.7.5

    E. Unary Operators

    Learning

  • 2.7.6

    F. Ternary Operator

    The Ternary Operator in Java provides a concise way to implement conditional expressions, allowing for shorthand if-else statements.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.7.7

    G. Bitwise Operators

    Bitwise operators in Java perform operations on binary representations of integers, enabling low-level data manipulation.

    Learning Practice

  • 2.8

    Operator Precedence

    Operator precedence rules in Java dictate the order in which operations are evaluated in expressions.
