Unit 1 Summary
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
todouble
). - Discusses the importance of precision in data types like
float
anddouble
. - 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).
