Java Data Types and Type Conversion Guide

The document discusses Java data types, type conversions, conditional operators, constructors, and classes. It notes that Ariane 4 crashed due to converting from float to integer. It lists the default bits for basic data types like byte, short, integer, long, float, and double. Type conversions between numeric data types can be implicit or explicit. The == operator compares bit patterns for primitives while equals() compares object contents. Constructors initialize variables when an object is created. All Java classes are subclasses of the Object class.

ARIANE 4 : Was crashed because of datatype storage // (float to Integer )

Byte : It is JVM dependent n the kind of OS on which JVM is installed and t and we cant say that it is 1 bit

DATATYPE DEFAULT BITS


Byte 0 1
Short 0 2
Integer 0 4
Long 0 8
float decimal 0 4
double decimal 0 8
char \u0000' 2
Boolean FALSE JVM

TYPE CONVERSION :

ByteshortIntlong (Its done implicitly by JVM)

Byteshortintlong(It is done by explicit casting ) this is not done implicitly and its also called
narrowing conversion

U need to say to JVM to do so and ther might b a loss of data

Floatdouble(Implicit) viveversa is explicit

Boolean datatype cannot be casted

NOTE: If the two types r compatible then java will do conversions automatically like from byte to long
and vv

If they are incompatible then also its still possible to make conversion by type casting

The numeric types r not compatible with car or Boolean and also char and Boolean are not compatible
with each other.

Ex:

Short c = 234;

Byte d=(byte)c;

The Negative number is stored with 2’s complement

--JAVA automatically promotes each byte or short operand to int whwn evaluating any expressions
Java uses 2’s complent to store negative numbers

CONDITIONAL OPERATORS :

== operator will compare the bit pattern of primitive datatypes

Ex: a=10, b=10

If(a==b)

== operators in case of object will not compare the contents of object rather it will compare the
memory address, to compare contens u can use equals operator

Ex:

Car c = new Car()

Car b=c;

If(b=c) it returns true as d my & is compared

 instanceof operator

Used 2 find if the reference is an instance of a class type

Class car implements vehicle

Car c=new Car();

If(c instanceof Vehicle) true

If(c instanceof Car) true

Both of them returns true

Short Circuit AND(&&) and OR(|| )

Unsigned right shift operator:

Very similar to right shift operator

If the MSB is 1 its replaced with 0

Even negativw numbers becomes positive with this operator


CONSTRUCTOR: Initialises variable as soon as u create d object.

Its special type of method it

dosent have return type.

CTRL + C is the ascii character ETX which tells it is the END of TEXT and tells the program to halt.

Details of font.
To compile all files in current dir use > javac *.java

--JAVA CODE

Getters : methods 2 return class fields values

Setters : methods 2 set class fields values

This = the current object

Class consisits of fields, methods, constructor

Members= fields, methods of class

All java classes are subclasses of Object class
