Chapter 12 Complex Mathematical Expressions

12.1 Writing Complex Mathematical Expressions

In Section 7.2 you learned all about arithmetic operators but little about how to use them and how to write your own complex mathematical expressions. In this chapter, you are going to learn how easy is to convert mathematical expressions to Java statements.

Arithmetic operators follow the same precedence rules as in mathematics, which means that multiplication and division are performed first, and addition and subtraction are performed next. Moreover, when multiplication and division co-exist in the same expression, and since both are of the same precedence, ...
