Syntax, Keywords, & Identifiers Java Keywords

• Syntax – rules of the language, very strict abstract continue for new switch
synchroniz
assert default goto* package
ed
boolean do if private this
• Keywords – words that reserved for some
bit double implements protected throw
purpose. You cannot use keywords as an
byte else import public throws
identifier.
case enum instanceof return transient

catch extends int short try

• Identifiers – names that given to classes, char final interface static void
methods, and variables class finally long strictfp volatide

const* float native super while

Assign value to a variable Naming Rules for Java Identifier

Assignment operator (=) • Cannot be a Java reserved word.
• Assign the value on the right to the • Case-sensitive
variable on the left • Unlimited length of sequence of Unicode
letters and digits
x = 3; • Must begin with a letter, underscore (_), or
Y = 6.5;
a dollar sign ($).
myText = “Java Programming”;
• White space not allowed
int z;
z = x;

Naming Convention Expressions

• Use meaningful names • An expression is a value, a variable, a
• For compound words use camelCase. method, or one of their combinations that
• Class names begin with an Uppercase letter.
Account, DictionaryItem, FileUtility, Article
can be evaluated to a value.
3.875
• Variable names and method names begin with a
lowercase letter: a + b – 10
Height, speed, filename, tempInCelcius, 8 >= x
imcomingMsg, textToShow. p || q
(method names usually are verbs) locate, sortItem,
findMinValue, checkForError “go”
• For a constant use all uppercase letters and underscore System.out.print(“go”)
(_) to separate words in compound names. Math.sqrt(2)
SOUND_SPEED, KM_PER_MILE, BLOCK_SIZE (x + 3 > y) && (x – 3 < z)

Statements Simple calculation

• Complete sentence that causes some action to occur.
• ends with a semicolon (;) • Arithmetic operators
int k;
int j = 10;
– add (+)
double d1, d2, d3;
k = a + b – 10;
– subtract (-)
boolean p = (a >= b); – multiply (*)
System.out.println(“go”);
sqareRootTwo = Math.sqrt(2); – divide (/)
• block of statements are the statements withing a block of curly
– modulo (%) : remainder after divide
braces ({ … })
{ • Assignment operator (=) is used to assign
int m, n;
m = 5; a value or the result from the calculation
}
n = m * m;
to a variable
