Syntax
Print statements:
System.out.print("This prints on the same line.")
System.out.println("This prints on the next line.")
And, or, not:
if ( (HaveMangoes == false && !money.equals("$10")) || (Hungry == true) ) {
BuyMangoes();
// AND is &&
// OR is ||
// NOT is !
}
Some operators:
int x = 5;
x++; // ++ : x = x + 1
y = ++x // ++var : same as x=x+1; y=x; increment var, then use the new value of var
y = x++; // var++ : same as oldX=x; x=x+1; y=oldX;
Creating and assigning variables:
int apples = 3; // Whole number
float bananas = 3.3f; // Number with a decimal. 'f' at the end prevents future errors
char mangoes = 3; // Single letter/number/symbol
String fruit = "Mangoes";
boolean easy = true; // True or false
int tigers;
tigers = 10;
While loops:
int value = 0;
while (value < 10) {
System.out.println("Hello " + value);
value = value + 1;
}
If statements:
if (mango == 0) {
System.out.println("I don't have any mangoes...");
// Since this is a single line, { } are unnecessary
}
else if (mango == 2) {
System.out.println("Mangoes are yummy.");
}
else
System.out.println("All the mangoes!");
