         IDENTIFIERS

Identifiers are those words in JAVA code that you choose. In JAVA , you will need to identify many elements in your code, including class names, methods, fields, variables and package names . The names you choose are called identifiers and must adhere to the following rules :-

1.      An identifiers cannot be a keyword or true, false, or null.

2.      An identifiers can consist of letters , digits 0-9, the underscore,  or the dollar sign.

3.      An identifiers must start with a letter, an underscore, or a Dollar sign.

 For example :-  My example, IO example, HelloWorld,  Signature, system, String, age, colour, and Heights are valid identifiers since Java is case sensitive. That means This is a valid identifier because it is different from the keyword this. 

         JAVA KEYWORDS

The keywords of a programming language are the words that define the language ,  have special meaning to the compiler, and cannot be used as identifiers .

          LITERALS

A literal denotes a constant. For instance “hello world” is a string literal and its meaning is the words HelloWorld . JAVA has several kind of literals . They are:-       

1.      CHARACTER LITERALS

2.      STRING LITERALS

3.      INTEGER LITERALS

4.      FLOATING POINT LITERALS

5.      BOOLEAN LITERALS

            VARIABLES

 

Variables are used to store data . In JAVA , a variable needs to be declared . Declaring a variable invlves two steps: giving the variable a name and stating what type of data is to be stored in the variable . JAVA also have different types of variables:-

1.      ASSIGNING VARIABLES

2.      CHARACTER VARIABLES

3.      INTEGER VARIABLES

4.      FLOATING VARIABLES

5.      BOOLEAN VARIABLES

 

OPERATORS

Operators are specials symbols that represent operations that can be carried out on variables, constants or expressions. The types of Operators available in JAVA are :

1.      Arithmetic

2.      Increment/decrement

3.      Relational

4.      Logical

5.      Shift

6.      Bitwise

7.      Assignment

8.      Conditional

9.      []operator

10.   New operator

11.   (type)cast Operator

12.   ()operator

13.   Dot operator

 

SOME OF THE OPERATORS ARE GIVEN BELOW:-

1.      ARITHMETIC OPERATORS

2.      UNARY OPERATORS

3.      INCREMENT OPERATORS

4.      RELATIONAL OPERATORS

5.      LOGICAL OPERATORS

6.      ASSIGNMENT OPERATORS

7.      SHIFT OPERATORS
