using the specified format.
The following data type can be used in your
pseudocode.
Data Type Declaring a variable
int int myInt; 3. Assignment Statement
double double myDouble;
char char myChar; The assignment statement is used to manipulate
boolean boolean myBoolean; (change value) values of variables. It has the following
String String myString; syntax:
variableName = expression;

We will only consider one and two dimensional variable or any valid Java arithmetic or
arrays. Boolean/Logical expression. The assignment MUST
Example: int myInts[10]; be type compatible. For example, a double value can
and int myInts[10][20]; not be assigned to an int variable.

1.2. Naming Variables

You must name your variables to conform to the 4. Operators
following convention:
 Variable names MUST be meaningful, 4.1. Arithmetic Operators
except for indexing variables. The following operators are used in Java to form
 Variable names must start with a lowercase compound arithmetic expressions. BEDMAS is

* Multiplication
A variable MUST be initialized before it can be / Division
used. + Addition
- Subtraction

precedence and are evaluated from left to right.

4.3. Logical Operators OR
These are used to form compound Logical (Boolean)
expressions. They combine two conditions. The
exception is the negation operator. switch (expression)
{
Operator Meaning case value1: statementBlock1;
|| or break;
&& and case value2: statementBlock2;
! not or negation break;
case value3: statementBlock3;
