Lesson Objectives

Java Programming with Java SE 6.0: Operators and Flow Control in Java

  • use Java's operators to build expressions and determine the value of an expression variable for a given code sample.
  • use assignment operators to build and evaluate an expression, and evaluate a compound expression using operator precedence.
  • identify valid primitive type conversions and casting operations from a given list of examples.
  • use Java operators to create expressions and compare integers in a specific application.
  • write if and switch statements for a given scenario.
  • specify the code to use Java's while and do-while loop constructs to perform iteration, and identify the functions of the break and continue keywords.
  • specify the code to use Java's standard and enhanced for loop constructs to perform iteration over arrays and multi-dimensional arrays.
  • create selection statements and loop constructs for a given scenario.
