    Char is also a whole number data type and stores the ascii value, so you can do calculations with it. That comes in handy lots of times where I work ^^

    Great video John! I've been watching a whole bunch of your tutorials as I aspire to become a Java backend engineer, and they've been really helpful! About chars, I found them to be a lot useful when looping through strings in "for each" statements, do you know a better way to do so? Thanks again for the great content!

    • @daveqr
      @daveqr Před 10 měsíci

      So this doesn't exactly answer your question, but one interesting use of looping with chars is when you need to do something alphabetically, like this example from a chess program:
      private static Stream generateAllSquares() {
      final List squares = new ArrayList();
      for (char file = 'a'; file

    I came back to this video because I just watched a video of a guy doing a 6 billion point combo in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4. When the game finally tallied it up, it didn't get past 1.6 billion even though the combo did, in fact, add up to 6 billion. So the programmers must have used int instead of long. If only they could have foreseen the jump in human evolution from 2003 to now. No one was capable of such things back then.

    • @sc1ss0r1ng
      @sc1ss0r1ng Před 2 lety +1

      Do you mean, if you use a Scanner to read the user input and decide if they type 'true' or 'false' ?
      A little example I made of that scenario here just using the Main class for simplicity's sake (you have to import the scanner for this to work):
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      package (name of your package)
      import java.util.Scanner;
      public class Main{
      public static void main(String[] args){
      checkForUserInputWithBoolean();
      }
      public static void checkForUserInputWithBoolean() {
      Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Are you a human? Answer 'true or false' ");
      byte checker = 0;
      while (checker == 0) {
      try {
      boolean userAnswer = scanner.nextBoolean();
      if (userAnswer == true) {
      System.out.println("You are a human being");
      checker = 2;
      }
      else if (userAnswer == false) {
      System.out.println("You are not a human being
      ");
      checker = 1;
      checkForUserInputWithBoolean();
      }
      else{
      checker = 0;
      }
      }
      catch (Exception e) {
      System.out.println("Wrong input, must be true or false
      ");
      checker = 1;
      checkForUserInputWithBoolean();
      }
      }
      }
      }

    Personally I feel lower case L is 'wrong' solely because at a glance it could be easily mistaken for a 1. I think Upper case is clearer.

  • @amnfox
    @amnfox Před rokem

    I don't understand how a programmer decides which type to use. Should I just primarily use int? If I use int for a small amount of data am I misusing the type?

    • @megoshmego
      @megoshmego Před rokem +1

      no. but if your number exceeds 2 billion you need to use a long. people dont just always use long bc it takes more time to run.
