// Types & Variables

// Long - 64-bit signed two's complement integer
// (-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 <= long <= 9,223,372,036,854,775,807)
long fooLong = 100000L;
// L is used to denote that this variable value is of type Long;
// anything without is treated as integer by default.
// Note: Java has no unsigned types
// Float - Single-precision 32-bit IEEE 754 Floating Point
float fooFloat = 234.5f;
// f is used to denote that this variable value is of type float;
// otherwise it is treated as double.
// Double - Double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 Floating Point
double fooDouble = 123.4;
// Boolean - true & false
boolean fooBoolean = true;
boolean barBoolean = false;
// Char - A single 16-bit Unicode character
char fooChar = 'A';
// final variables can't be reassigned to another object
final int HOURS_I_WORK_PER_WEEK = 9001;
// Strings
String fooString = "My String Is Here!";
// \n is an escaped character that starts a new line
String barString = "Printing on a new line?\nNo Problem!";

// Arrays
//The array size must be decided upon instantiation
//The following formats work for declaring an arrow

//<datetype> <var name>[] = new <datatype>[<array size>];
int [] intArray = new int[10];
String [] stringArray = new String[1];

// Another way to declare & initialize an array

// Others to check out
// ArrayLists - Like arrays except more functionality is offered,
// and the size is mutable
// LinkedLists
// Maps
// HashMaps

// Operators

System.out.println("2*1 = " + (i2 * i1)); // => 2
System.out.println("1/2 = " + (i1 / i2)); // => 0 (0.5 truncated down)
// Modulo
System.out.println("11%3 = "+(11 % 3)); // => 2
// Comparison operators
System.out.println("3 == 2? " + (3 == 2)); // => false

// after the variable they return then increment.
System.out.println(i++); //i = 1, prints 0 (post-increment)
System.out.println(++i); //i = 2, prints 2 (pre-increment)

// For Each Loop
// An automatic iteration through an array or list of objects.
int[] fooList = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
//for each loop structure => for(<object> : <array_object>)
//reads as: for each object in the array
//note: the object type must match the array.
for( int bar : fooList ){
//System.out.println(bar);
//Iterates 9 times and prints 1-9 on new lines
}
// Switch Case
// A switch works with the byte, short, char, and int data types.
// It also works with enumerated types (discussed in Enum Types),
// the String class, and a few special classes that wrap
// primitive types: Character, Byte, Short, and Integer.
int month = 3;

break;
case 3:

break;
default:
monthString = "Some other month";
break;
}
System.out.println("Switch Case Result: " + monthString);
// Conditional Shorthand
// You can use the '?' operator for quick assignments or logic forks.
// Reads as "If (statement) is true, use <first value>, otherwise, use <second value>"
int foo = 5;
String bar = (foo < 10) ? "A" : "B";
System.out.println(bar); // Prints A, because the statement is true
///////////////////////////////////////
// Converting Data Types And Typcasting
///////////////////////////////////////
// Converting data
// Convert String To Integer
Integer.parseInt("123");//returns an integer version of "123"
// Convert Integer To String
Integer.toString(123);//returns a string version of 123
// For other conversions check out the following classes:
// Double
// Long
// String
// Typecasting
// You can also cast java objects, there's a lot of details and
// deals with some more intermediate concepts.
// Feel free to check it out here:

//Interfaces
//Interface declaration syntax
//<access-level> interface <interface-name> extends <super-interfaces> {
// //Constants
// //Method declarations
//}
//Example - Food:
public interface Edible {
public void eat(); //Any class that implements this interface, must implement this method
}
public interface Digestible {
public void digest();
}
//We can now create a class that implements both of these interfaces
public class Fruit implements Edible, Digestible {
public void eat() {
//...
}
public void digest() {
//...
}
}
//In java, you can extend only one class, but you can implement many interfaces.
//For example:
public class ExampleClass extends ExampleClassParent implements InterfaceOne, InterfaceTwo {
public void InterfaceOneMethod() {
}
public void InterfaceTwoMethod() {
}
