Variable
• Is a name for a value stored in memory
• Containers for values
• Is a name for a location in memory used to
hold a data value.
Variable Declaration
• Tells the compiler to reserve a portion of
main memory space large enough to hold the
value.
• All variables must be declared with a name
and a type before they can be used.
– int myValue = 3; //Declared & Initialized myValue to 3
• Variable can only store one value of its type
at a time.
Assignment Statement
• (=) symbol is used as the assignment statement.
– (=) - is known as the assignment operator.
• All assignments occurs from right to left.
Meaning the right side of the equal sign is
evaluated first and then stored to the variable on
the left side.
– Identifier variable = expression ;
– myVariable = myValue + 3;
• myValue + 3 is evaluated first
• The result is then stored in myVariable
Assignment Statement
An assignment statement gives a value to a
variable.
Assignment can take several forms:
x = 5;
a literal (5) is assigned to x
x = y + 2;
the value of an expression (y + 2)
is assigned to x
x = z;
the value of another variable (z)
is assigned to x
Variable Assignment
A variable can store only one value at any time.
int x;
x = 5;
x = 10;
x
10
5
Naming Variables
• 1st letter of a variable name should be lowercase.
• Name should consist of letters and numbers and
underscore.
• No spaces
• No symbols
• If using two words join together, the 1st letter of
the second word should be capitalized.
– myHouse, totalSum
• Do not use reserve or keywords
Reserve
• Reserve Words – words that have a predefine
meaning
– boolean, char, byte, int, short, long, float, double,
void, true, false, public, private, protected, static, final,
import, class, interface, extends, implements, this,
super, abstract, new, if, else, for, while, do, switch,
case, default, break, return, try, catch, finally, throw,
throws, continue, package, native, volatile, transient,
synchronized, instanceof
• All reserved words use only lowercase letter

Primitive Data Types or built-in
data types
Data type – determines the type of data the
variable will store
They are called primitive because data types
have no properties.
Eight Primitive Data Types
•
•
•
•
4 kinds of Integers data types
2 kinds of floating point data types
1 character data type
1 boolean data type
Primitive Data Types

int
double
char
boolean
Storage Required
4 bytes //AP EXAM
8 bytes //AP EXAM
2 bytes //Not on AP Exam
1 bit //AP EXAM
Integer Data Types
• Use for whole numbers
• byte – 1 byte range –27 to 27-1 or –128 to 127
• short – 2 bytes range –215 to 215 – 1 or 32,768
to 32,767
• int – 4 bytes range –231 to 231 - 1
• long – 8 bytes range –263 to 263 – 1
Floating Points Data Types
• Use for real numbers (numbers with
decimal).
• float – 4 bytes –3.4 x 1038 to 3.4 x 1038
• double – 8 bytes –1.8 x 10308 to 1.8 x 10308
Character Data Type
• Used for single letters in single quotes
• char – 2 bytes Unicode character set (with
ASCII subset)
Boolean Data Type
• Used for true or false
• boolean – 1 byte true or false
Choosing a data type
• It is important to choose the most
appropriate type for the quantity being
represented.
Constants
• Literal – A primitive value used in a program .
o Numeric literal – 8 , 9, 427
o String literal – “hello”
• Symbolic - uses the keyword final when
declaring variables
– final int SUM = 8;
– Use all caps the distinguish constant variables from
other variables.
• Constants are like variables, but they have the
same value throughout the program.
• Constant can’t change their value once they are
assigned a value.
Named Constants
 A named memory location that cannot be changed
from its initial value.
 The keyword final is used in a constant declaration.
 Constant identifiers are typically all uppercase with an
underscore (_) separating words within the identifier
name.
 Example:
final double TAX = 0.08;
Constants Advantages
• Prevent accidental changing during the
program run by another source.
• Maintenance - by changing the assignment
where it is assigned. It will change
throughout the program.
ASCII
• American Standard Code for Information
Interchange
– Represents the numeric code for each
character
– One Byte per character
– 0 to 127
• Extended ASCII
– 128 to 255
Unicode
• Two bytes per character
– ASCII is a subset of Unicode
• Represents 65,000 characters for most
world languages
Import, Arithmetic, Casting,
Logical Operators, Relational
Operators
Java Packages
 Numerous packages are included with JDK
 Packages contain classes
 Packages can be added to an application with an
import statement. For example, the statement
import java.util.Scanner;
makes the Scanner class and its methods accessible to
the application.
Packages
• Group of related classes by one name.
• Eamples: java.lang – java.util
Class Libraries
• Class Library – is a set of classes that
supports the development of programs.
• The Java standard class Library is a useful
set of classes that anyone can use when
writing Java programs.
• Java APIs – Application Programmer
Interfaces. Class library made up of
several sets of related classes.
Import Declaration
• import – keyword used to identify
packages and classes that will be used by
the program.
• import java.util.Random;
– Gains access to the Random Class
• import java.util.*;
– Gains access to the package that contains class
Random
java.lang.*;
• Automatically imported
• Classes in java.lang package

The Math Class
 Part of the java.lang package
 The random() methods generates a double between 0
and 1.0. For example,
double rNum;
rNum = Math.random();
 A random integer in a range is generated by using the
expression:
(highNum – lowNum + 1) * Math.random() + lowNum

Order of Precedence
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
!, (unary) -, Cast, ++, -*, /, %
+, <, >, <=, >=, ==, !=
&&
||
In the absence of parentheses, binary operators of
the same rank are performed left to right, and
unary operators right to left. If in doubt use
parentheses!
Parentheses
• Operations inside of parentheses are evaluated first.
• The order in which operators are evaluated can be
changed by using parentheses. For example,
addition is performed first, then multiplication, and
finally division:
• Example:
– 6 + 4 * 2 – 1 // 13
– (6 + 4) * (2 – 1) // 10
– (5 + 6) * 4 / 2 // 22
Type promotion (implicit
conversion)
• Occurs when using a math expression of different
data types.
• Example: int + double will return a double and
the int will be promoted to a double by the
compiler automatically.
• You will need to have a double data type to store
the result.
• If you try to store it in an int memory location,
you will get a loss of precision error.
+, -, *, %
• Will return the data type of the operand if
they of same data type.
• Mixed mode operands will use type
promotion to determine the data type that
will be return.
• Can’t % by a 0
– 5 % 0;
• Can 0%8 = 0
Mixed Mode Operands
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
int + int  int
int + double  double
double + double  double
int * int  int
int *double  double
double * double  double
int / int  int
int / double  double
double / double  double
Just as long as one of the operand is a double, the
other operand will be promoted up and result will
be a double.
/ division
• Must be careful when working with
division.
• int/int will return an int and the remainder
is dropped.
• One or both of the sides of the division
must be a double to return a double
• Can’t divide by 0 example 5/0;
• Can 0/5 = 0;
Real Division
Real division (/) is performed when one or both
operands are type double. The entire quotient,
including the decimal portion is returned:
double result;
result = 20.0/7.0;
//result is 2.857
Integer Division
Integer division (/) is performed when both operands
are integers. Only the integer portion of the quotient is
returned:
Division & Modulus
• Can use if statement to eliminate errors
if(x != 0)
8/x
• Eliminates any errors if x = 0;
Casting or Type Casting
• Converts a value Data Type temporary to another
type.
• Examples:
int x, i = 2;
double d = 3.7;
x = i * (int) d; // d is explicitly cast
• Type casting is necessary in this case because one
of the operands has less precision than the variable
that will store the result.
• Explicit casting also makes it clear that the
programmer intended for the calculation result to
be an int.
Type Casting
Type Casting converts a number of one type to a
number of a different, but compatible type. Type
casting is used to:
1. make the operand types in an expression match.
For example, wholeNum = (int)y * 2
2. truncate the decimal portion of a double. For
example, wholeNum = (int)z
3. change the way in which a division (/) operation
will be performed. For example,
realDivision = (double)a / (double)b
Casting real division
• Casting is useful when real division with integers
is preferred
• result = (double) 8/ (double) 5; //explicitly
• result = (double) 8/ 5; // explicitly & implicitly
• Java will implicitly type cast operands in a mixed
expression to match the precision of the variable
storing the value. Although explicitly type
casting is not necessary, it is better programming
style to include casts.
• Casting makes the programmer’s intentions clear
and makes bugs easier to find.
Truncate
• Casting a double to an int truncates the
decimal portion of the number.
Rounding
• Rounding can be simulated when casting a
double to an int by adding .5 to the number
before the casting.
• x = i * (int)(d + 0.5);
Abstract Data Types
A variable declared with a class is called an object. For
example, the object spot is type Circle:
Circle spot = new Circle(4);
spot
getRadius()
area()
Programming Errors
 Syntax errors violate the rules of Java.
 Logic errors, also called semantic errors, occur in
statements that are syntactically correct, but produce
undesired or unexpected results.
 Run-time errors, also called exceptions, halt program
execution at the statement that cannot be executed.
One type of exception is called
InputMismatchException.
