Lesson Overview

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.

Arithmetic Operations Uncovered

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,
