All set, astronaut! Today, we're diving deep into Java, mastering arithmetic and logical operations on primitive types. These skills are crucial for data manipulation and decision-making during our space voyage.
Recall from our previous sessions that Java's primitive data types include int
for whole numbers, float
for decimal numbers, boolean
for true/false values, and char
for single characters. Both int
and float
have limitations on their numerical range, which will come into play when we discuss overflow later in this lesson.
We can perform arithmetic operations — addition (+
), subtraction (-
), multiplication (*
), division (/
), and modulus - the remainder of the division (%
) — on numerical types. For example,
