Java is a strongly typed language, meaning that every value in Java has a well-defined type. There are two types of variables: object types and primitive types. Object types are defined by classes, whether they are user-implemented or come from libraries such as Java SE. Primitive types are built into the language and treated specifically. There are 8 primitive types: char
, boolean
, byte
, short
, int
, long
, float
, and double
.
The char
type represents a single character (e.g., a letter). Variables of type char
have values corresponding to any UTF-16 encoded character.
The boolean
type represents logical values. A boolean
variable can take one of two values: true or false.
The remaining primitive types are numeric. The types byte
, short
, int
, and long
are integer types representing whole numbers. A byte
variable can hold values from -128 to 127. A short
variable has a range from -32768 to 32767, an int
variable from -2147483648 to 2147483647, and a long
variable from -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807.
The float
and double
types represent floating-point numbers. The float
type holds single-precision values, while double
represents double-precision values.
One of the most popular object types, aside from Object
, is the String
type, which represents a sequence of characters.
Example:
String a = "String type";
A specific type of object type is an array. An array type defines a sequence of elements of a fixed type. Array types are denoted by square brackets appended to the element type. For example, an array of int
elements is denoted int[]
, and an array of String
elements is denoted String[]
.
Example:
int[] vector;
int[] preinitializedVector = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
int[][] twoDimMatrix = new int[][] { { 1, 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6 } };
String[] arrayName = { "Ala", "Ela", "Ula", "Ola" };
if
Statementif (condition) {
// Code executed conditionally
}
if-else
Statementif (condition) {
// Code executed conditionally
} else {
// Code executed alternatively
}
Example:
void isPositive(int x) {
if (x > 0) {
System.out.println("Number " + x + " is positive");
} else {
System.out.println("Number " + x + " is negative");
}
}
else-if
Statementif (condition) {
// Code executed conditionally
} else if (secondCondition) {
// Code executed when the second condition is true
} else {
// Code executed alternatively
}
Example:
void isPositive(int x) {
if (x > 0) {
System.out.println("Number " + x + " is positive");
} else if (x == 0) {
System.out.println("Number " + x + " is zero");
} else {
System.out.println("Number " + x + " is negative");
}
}
The ternary operator has the form condition ? value1 : value2
.
Example: The code:
public String isEven(int x) {
if (x % 2 == 0)
return "even";
else
return "odd";
}
is equivalent to:
public String isEven(int x) {
return x % 2 == 0 ? "even" : "odd";
}
switch
Statementswitch (expression) {
case value1:
// Instructions for the variant
break;
case value2:
// Instructions for the variant
break;
default:
// Instructions for the default variant
}
Example:
public void oddOrEven(int x) {
switch (x % 2) {
case 0:
System.out.println(x + " is even");
break;
case 1:
System.out.println(x + " is odd");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Unexpected case");
}
}
The break
statement ensures that after the condition is met and the code block is executed, subsequent blocks are not checked or executed.
while
Loopwhile (condition) {
// Loop body
}
Example:
public void lowerThan(int num) {
int x = 0;
while (x < num) {
System.out.println(x);
x++;
}
}
Note: A while
loop may not execute its body even once if the initial condition is not satisfied.
do-while
Loopdo {
// Loop body
} while (condition);
Example:
public void lowerThan(int num) {
int x = 0;
do {
System.out.println(x);
x++;
} while (x < num);
}
Note: A do-while
loop always executes at least once because the condition is checked after the loop body.
for
Loopfor (initialization; condition; increment) {
// Loop body
}
Example:
public void lowerThan(int num) {
for (int x = 0; x < num; x++) {
System.out.println(x);
}
}
public void decrementValue(int num) {
for (int x = num; x >= 0; x--) {
System.out.println(x);
}
}
for-each
Loopfor (variable : collection or array) {
// Loop body
}
Example:
int[] myArray = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 11 };
for (int arrayElem : myArray) {
System.out.print(arrayElem + " ");
}
break
and continue
StatementsThe break
statement immediately terminates the enclosing loop or switch
statement.
The continue
statement skips the current iteration of a loop and continues with the next iteration.
Write a program to calculate the discriminant (delta) and roots of a quadratic equation.
Create a calculator that computes: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, square roots, and trigonometric functions for a given angle. Use the Math
library (e.g., Math.sin(2.5)
).
Write a program to input 10 real numbers into an array. Implement the following functionalities using for
loops:
a) Display the array from the first to the last index. b) Display the array from the last to the first index. c) Display elements at odd indices. d) Display elements at even indices.
Write a program to input 10 numbers and perform the following operations:
Create a program to display numbers from 20 to 0, excluding numbers {2, 6, 9, 15, 19}. Use the continue
statement to implement the exclusions.
Write a program that continuously asks the user for integers. The loop should terminate if the user inputs a negative number. Use the break
statement to exit the infinite loop.
Write a program to input n
numbers and sort them using bubble sort or insertion sort. Display the sorted numbers on the console.
