- Operators may be used in building expressions, which compute values.
- Expressions are the core components of statements.
- Statements may be grouped into blocks.
- The following code snippet is an example of a compound expression.
1 * 2 * 3- Statements are roughly equivalent to sentences in natural languages, but instead of ending with a period, a statement ends with a semicolon.
- A block is a group of zero or more statements between balanced braces and can be used anywhere a single statement is allowed.
Identify the following kinds of expression statements:
aValue = 8933.234; // assignment statement
aValue++; // increment statement
System.out.println("Hello World!"); // method invocation statement
Bicycle myBike = new Bicycle(); // object creation statement
