Solution Review 2: Expression Evaluation

Explore how to evaluate Java expressions by tracking variable changes, applying operator precedence, and using type casting. Learn to interpret shorthand operators and complex expressions to deepen your understanding of primitive types and arithmetic operations for the AP Computer Science exam.

We'll cover the following...
Java
class ExpressionEvaluattion
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int x = 2; // x = 2
int y = 3; // y = 3, x = 2
double z = 5; // z = 5.0, y = 3, x = 2
x *= y; // z = 5.0, y = 3, x = 2*3 = 6
y = x + y + (int) z; // z = 5.0, y = 6+3+5 = 14, x = 6
z = x + y + y / z; // z = 6+14+(14/5.0) = 22.8, y = 14, x = 6
y++; // z = 22.8, y = 15, x = 6
x--; // z = 22.8, y = 15, x = 5
x = (int) z + y * x / y % x; // x = 22 + ((15*5) / 15)) % 5 = 22
System.out.println(x);
}
}
