Module 2 - 3 - Variables-Operators-Input

Variables, Operators, and Accepting Input from Users discusses Java variables, data types, identifiers, operators, and getting user input. It provides examples of legal and illegal identifiers in Java and covers arithmetic, relational, and logical operators. It also demonstrates how to accept input from users using the Scanner class to get string, integer, and double values. The document includes exercises for users to practice writing mathematical expressions in code and sample activities for calculating area and perimeter of a rectangle, finding sum, difference, product and quotient of two numbers, and converting between units like miles to kilometers, pounds to kilograms and grams, and seconds to hours and minutes.

Java Variables
• A variable is an item of data used to store the state
of objects.
• A variable has a:
– data type
• The data type indicates the type of value that the
variable can hold.
– name
• The variable name must follow rules for identifiers.
Java Identifiers
• Identifiers
– are tokens that represent names of variables, methods,
classes, etc.
– Examples of identifiers are: Hello, main, System, out.
• Java identifiers are case-sensitive.
– This means that the identifier Hello is not the same as hello.
• Identifiers must begin with either a letter, an underscore “_”,
or a dollar sign “$”. Letters may be lower or upper case.
Subsequent characters may use numbers 0 to 9.
• Identifiers cannot use Java keywords like class, public, void,
etc. We will discuss more about Java keywords later.
Java Keywords
Exercise
• Identify the following as legal or not legal
identifiers:
accounts a123 ABC123 BILLING void
Time_Of_Day
_amount 10percent US_$
const while for
if else #number
Categories of Data Types
• Primitive Data Type: such as boolean, char, int,
short, byte, long, float, and double
• Non-Primitive Data Type or Object Data type: such
as String, Array, etc.
Primitive Data Type
Arithmetic Operators
• Arithmetic operators are used in mathematical expressions in the
same way that they are used in algebra.
• Assume integer variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then:
Relational Operators
• Relational operators compare two values and determines
the relationship between those values.
• Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then:
Logical Operators
• Logical operators have one or two boolean
operands that yield a boolean result.
• Assume Boolean variables A holds true and variable
B holds false, then:
Operators and Expressions
• An operator is a symbol which represents an operation to be
performed.
• Expressions in the program may be mathematical formulas.

Mathematical Formula Equivalent Expression

b2 – 4ac b*b – 4 * a * c

a+b–c a+b–c

ab (a+b)/(c+d)
cd
1 1/(1+ x*x)
1 x2

ax – (b + c) a*x – (b + c)
Exercise
• What is the equivalent expression of the following
mathematical equations:

1. 4a3 + 2a2 + 1 = 4 * a *a *a + 2*a*a+1


2. 5j3 – 2(m+n) = 5 * j * 3 – 2 * (m + n)
3. 3 (i + j) = 3 * ( i + j)
4.
kA(T1  T2 )
L * (T1 – T2) / L
k *A
Syntax for getting user input
Scanner user_input = new Scanner(System.in);
//accepting a string
String first_name;
first_name = user_input.next( );
//accepting integer
int num = 0;
num = user_input.nextInt();
//accepting decimal number
double dnum = 2.5;
dnum = user_input.nextDouble();
Sample Activity
• AREA AND PERIMETER OF RECTANGLE: Create a
new Java class and design a program to calculate
the area and perimeter of a rectangle which is
represented by the following formulas:
• A = LW
• P = 2L + 2W
Finding Sum, Difference,
Product and Quotient
• Create a Java class and design a program that takes
two numbers as input data and display their sum,
difference, product and quotient.
• The name of the class should be LastnameActivity3.
Activity 2 – Distance in Miles to
Kilometer
• Create a Java class and design a program that takes
in the distance in miles as input and compute its
equivalent into kilometers and display result. Use
the formula:
• kms = 1.609 x distance in miles
• Define 1.609 as a constant macro kms_per_mile.
• The name of the class should be LastnameActivity2.
Activity 3 – Weight in Pounds to
Kilograms and Grams
• Create a Java class and design a program that read
in the weight (in pounds) of an object and then
compute and print the weight in kilograms and
grams. (Hint: 1 pound is equal to 0.453592
kilogram and 453.59237 grams.)
• The name of the class should be LastnameActivity3.
Activity 4 – Seconds to Hours
and Minutes
• Create a Java class and design a program that
inputs a number of seconds and outputs the hours
and minutes equivalent.
• The name of the class should be LastnameActivity4.
