// Types & Variables
///////////////////////////////////////
// Declare a variable using <type> <name> [
// Byte - 8-bit signed two's complement integer
// (-128 <= byte <= 127)
byte fooByte = 100;
// Short - 16-bit signed two's complement integer
// (-32,768 <= short <= 32,767)
short fooShort = 10000;
// Integer - 32-bit signed two's complement integer
// (-2,147,483,648 <= int <= 2,147,483,647)
int fooInt = 1;
// 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';
// Use final to make a variable immutable
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!";
// \t is an escaped character that adds a tab character
String bazString = "Do you want to add a tab?\tNo Problem!";
System.out.println(fooString);
System.out.println(barString);
System.out.println(bazString);
// Arrays
//The array size must be decided upon declaration
//The format for declaring an array is follows:
//<datatype> [] <var name> = new <datatype>[<array size>];
int [] intArray = new int[10];
String [] stringArray = new String[1];
boolean [] booleanArray = new boolean[100];
// Another way to declare & initialize an array
int [] y = {9000, 1000, 1337};
// Indexing an array - Accessing an element
System.out.println("intArray @ 0: " + intArray[0]);
// Arrays are zero-indexed and mutable.
intArray[1] = 1;
System.out.println("intArray @ 1: " + intArray[1]); // => 1
// Others to check out
// ArrayLists - Like arrays except more functionality is offered,
// and the size is mutable
// LinkedLists
// Maps
// HashMaps
///////////////////////////////////////
// Operators
///////////////////////////////////////
System.out.println("\n->Operators");
int i1 = 1, i2 = 2; // Shorthand for multiple declarations
// Arithmetic is straightforward
System.out.println("1+2 = " + (i1 + i2)); // => 3
System.out.println("2-1 = " + (i2 - i1)); // => 1
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
System.out.println("3 != 2? " + (3 != 2)); // => true
System.out.println("3 > 2? " + (3 > 2)); // => true
System.out.println("3 < 2? " + (3 < 2)); // => false
System.out.println("2 <= 2? " + (2 <= 2)); // => true
System.out.println("2 >= 2? " + (2 >= 2)); // => true
// Bitwise operators!

// 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.

///////////////////////////////////////
// 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.
