Double - โœ“โœ“โœ“A Java reserved word that represents a primitive floating point
numeric type, stored using 64 bits in IEEE 754 format. Ex. 4.23
in - โœ“โœ“โœ“A java reserved word for a primitive data type, stored using 32 bits in two's
complement format. Ex. 5
Boolean - โœ“โœ“โœ“A Java reserved word for a logical primitive data type that can only
take the values "True" or "False".
string literal - โœ“โœ“โœ“A primitive value used in a program.
Ex. ("Hello")
casting - โœ“โœ“โœ“Most general form of converting in Java
Ex. dollars = (in) money
narrowing conversion - โœ“โœ“โœ“A conversion from one data type into another in which
information could be lost. Converting from "double" to an "in" is a narrowing
conversion
strongly typed - โœ“โœ“โœ“Assigned values must correspond to the declared type.
// - โœ“โœ“โœ“Comments a line of code in Java that will not be run with the program. More
of a side note.
//Hello
% - โœ“โœ“โœ“Remainder operator.
Operator Precedence Hierarchy - โœ“โœ“โœ“The order in which operators are evaluated
in an expression.
primitive data - โœ“โœ“โœ“Characters with letters, or numbers: in, double, Booleans
constant - โœ“โœ“โœ“A value that cannot be changed. Used to make more code more
readable and to make changes easier. Defined in Java using the "final" modifier.
final - โœ“โœ“โœ“A Java reserved word that is a modifier for classes, methods, and
variables. A "final" variable is a constant
void - โœ“โœ“โœ“A Java reserved word that indicates that no value is returned.
main - โœ“โœ“โœ“Method that appears within a class, it invokes other methods.

A "final" variable is a constant void - โœ“โœ“โœ“ A Java reserved word that indicates that no value is returned. main - โœ“โœ“โœ“ Method that appears within a class, it invokes other methods.

System.out.println() - โœ“โœ“โœ“ Displays text for the user: Ex. System.out.println("Hello") Hello public - โœ“โœ“โœ“ A Java reserved word for a visibility modifier. A public class or interface can be used anywhere. A public method or variable is inherited by all subclasses and is accessible anywhere. private - โœ“โœ“โœ“ A Java reserved word for a visibility modifier. Private methods and variables are NOT inherited by subclasses and can only be accessed in the class in which they have been declared. static - โœ“โœ“โœ“ A Java reserved word that describes methods and variables. A static method is also called a class method and can be referred without an instance of the class. A static variable is also called a class variable and is common to all instances of a class; Data and methods can be used without instantiation of their own class. Assignment Statement - โœ“โœ“โœ“ Uses the equal sign to give the object property on the left of the equal sign the value on the right of the equal sign. Variable - โœ“โœ“โœ“ An identifier in a program that represents a memory location in which a data value is stored. Escape Sequence - โœ“โœ“โœ“ In Java characters beginning with the backslash character (), used to indicate a special situation when printing values. For example, the escape sequence \t means that a horizontal tab should be printed; Special way to represent characters in a String. class - โœ“โœ“โœ“ 1) A Java reserve word used to define a class

  1. The blueprint of an object - the model that defines the variables and methods an object will contain when instantiated. object - โœ“โœ“โœ“ 1) The basic software part in an Object-Oriented program.
  2. An encapsulated collection of data variables and methods.
  3. An instance of class. Has state and behavior. Method - โœ“โœ“โœ“ A named group of declarations and programming statements that can be invoked (executed) when needed. A Method is part of a class. Alters an objects State. Object Reference Variable - โœ“โœ“โœ“ A variable that holds a reference to an object, but not the object itself. Stores the address where the object is stored i memory. Variable name for the Object.
