* Java supports two types of division
Floating-point division Integer division
24
Floating-point division Integer divisiom
– occurs when either or both operands are floating-point values. Example: 45.0 / 2 = 22.5 – occurs when both operand are integers. Example: 45 / 2 = 22
25
is the remainder operator - it results the remainder of two integers.
Percent sign (%) or Modulo –
26
is the process of converting one data type to another.
Type conversion –
27
it automatically converts nonconforming operands to the unifying type. It is also called Promotions.
In implicit conversion
28
is the type to which all operands in an expression are converted so that they are compatible to each other
Unifying type
29
is the overriding the unifying type.
Explicit Conversion –
30
forces the value of one data type to be used as a value of another data type
Type Casting
31
– is created by placing the desired result type in parenthesis.
Cast Operator
