Class 3

The document explains type casting in Java, which includes widening casting (automatic conversion from a smaller to a larger type) and narrowing casting (manual conversion from a larger to a smaller type). It also covers Java operators, categorizing them into arithmetic, assignment, comparison, and logical operators, with examples demonstrating their usage. Overall, it provides foundational knowledge on how data types and operators function in Java programming.

Java Type Casting

Type casting is when you assign a value of one primitive data type to another
type.

In Java, there are two types of casting:

 Widening Casting (automatically) - converting a smaller type to a larger


type size
byte -> short -> char -> int -> long -> float -> double

 Narrowing Casting (manually) - converting a larger type to a smaller


size type
double -> float -> long -> int -> char -> short -> byte

Widening Casting
Widening casting is done automatically when passing a smaller size type to a
larger size type:

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int myInt = 9;

double myDouble = myInt; // Automatic casting: int to double

[Link](myInt); // Outputs 9

[Link](myDouble); // Outputs 9.0

Narrowing Casting
Narrowing casting must be done manually by placing the type in
parentheses () in front of the value:

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {

double myDouble = 9.78d;

int myInt = (int) myDouble; // Manual casting: double to int

[Link](myDouble); // Outputs 9.78

[Link](myInt); // Outputs 9

Java Operators
Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values.

In the example below, we use the + operator to add together two values:

int x = 100 + 50;

Java divides the operators into the following groups:

 Arithmetic operators
 Assignment operators
 Comparison operators
 Logical operators
 Bitwise operators

Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic operators are used to perform common mathematical operations.

int sum1 = 100 + 50; // 150 (100 + 50)

int sum2 = sum1 + 250; // 400 (150 + 250)

int sum3 = sum2 + sum2; // 800 (400 + 400)

Assignment Operators
Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.

In the example below, we use the assignment operator (=) to assign the
value 10 to a variable called x:

int x = 10;

x += 5;

Comparison Operators
Comparison operators are used to compare two values (or variables). This is
important in programming, because it helps us to find answers and make
decisions.

int x = 5;

int y = 3;

[Link](x > y);

Logical Operators
You can also test for true or false values with logical operators.

x < 5 && x < 10
