Memory:Each memory location is eight bits or a byte of information. 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes. 2^10 1 megabyte = 2^20 bytes. 1 gigabyte = 2^30 bytes.Binary (base 2): 1 or 0 in a bit. Conversion to base 10 1101 = 1x2^3 + 1x2^2 + 0x2^1 + 1x2^0 = 13
Comments: Statements ignored by the computer.// This begins a single line comment. /* This begins a multiline comment.*/ This will end the comment. White space in java is ignored.
Java compiler and interpreter are part of the Java JDK (Java Development Kit) – download from OracleSyntax: rules of a language. These rules must be followed.Semantics: What will happen when the statement is executed.
Errors:compile-time error: syntax errors, incompatible types… runtime error: causes the program to terminate abnormally (crash!). logical error: bad results when executed.
