Type Casting In Java

Java Type Casting 

•     Type casting is a way of converting data from one data type to another data type. This process of data conversion is also known as type conversion.

There are two types of Casting in Java: 

1) Widening Casting 

2) Narrowing Casting 



Widening Casting:  In this type, Java automatically converts one data type to another data type. Widening typecasting is also known as Implicit conversion or Casting down.

Narrowing Casting: In this type, the programmer manually converts one data type to another datatype using Round brackets. Narrowing typecasting is also known as Explicit Conversion or Casting up.

Methods of String in java

  String in Java String:   A Java string is  a sequence of characters that exist as an object of the class java. lang. Here is  the list of important methods available in the java string class: Ø  startsWith ( ): It checks if the string starts with the given prefix. If yes then return true else false. Ø  endsWith () : It checks if the string ends with the given suffix. If yes then return true else false. Ø  substring(int begin index) : It return s  the substring of the string. The substring start s  with the character at the specified index. Ø   substring(Int begin index , int end index) : Returns the substring. The substring starts with the character at begin index and ends with the character at end index. Ø  toLowerCase() : It converts all  the character s  of the string into lower case(Small Letters).   Ø  toUpperCase() : It converts all the character s  of the string into upper case(Capital Let...

Variables and Data types in Java

  MY PROGRAMMING PARADISE Variables: Variables are used to store data in a computer’s memory. In other words, we can say, variables are just like a container that holds the value while the java program executed. There are three types of variables in java: 1-  Local 2-  Instance 3-  Static   Rules for declaring identifier (Variable name) 1-  All identifiers must begin with a letter, currency character, or underscore. 2-  Blank spaces are not allowed. 3-  An identifier name is case-sensitive. 4-  A keyword cannot be used as an identifier.   Declaring variables: byte age = 28; short salary =32500; float price = 25.50f; char name = ‘v’; boolean flag=true;   Data types: There are two types of data types in java. 1-  Primitive Data type 2-  Non- primitive Data types   Primitive Data type: There are mainly eight types of primitive data types: Types Size Range Default Value byte 1 Byte [-128, 127] 0 short 2 Byte [-32,768 , 32...

Switch Statement In Java

Switch Statement:  The switch statement is just like if-else-if ladder statement. It executes one statement from multiple conditions. It works with a byte, short, int, long, and String. In other words, we can say the Switch case statement is a substitute for a long if statement that compares to several integral values. Syntax of Switch statement in java Enhance Switch or Switch With Arrow: The new syntax uses the -> operator instead of the colon we're used to with switch statements. Also, there's no break keyword. Another addition is the fact that we can now have comma-delimited criteria. Syntax of Enhance Switch in java
