Unit 1: Primitive Types

  • Introduces basic data types like int, double, char, boolean.
  • Focuses on variable declaration, initialization, and use in expressions.
  • Arithmetic operations, including division, modulus, and type casting.
  • Explores data conversions between primitive types (e.g., int to double).
  • Discusses the importance of precision in data types like float and double.
  • Logical and comparison operators for basic decision-making.


Connections to PBL:

  • In a PBL project, primitive types are used to validate and process user input on the front-end (e.g., form data like age, price).
  • In the back-end, primitive types are often involved in database queries and logic (e.g., comparing IDs or calculating totals).
  • API interactions require these types to parse and validate incoming data (e.g., a request that contains product prices or user ages).
