Be able to explain what variables are. Understand variable types, allowed names, and valid values. Know how to create and use string, integer, floating-point, and boolean variables.

The lab template contains a program that prints the following:

2 tickets: $28.00
2 hotdogs, 2 popcorn, 2 sodas: $18.00
1 autographed baseball $45.00
real conversation with 11 year old son: priceless
true

Ignore the code that you don't fully recognize and concentrate on changing the variables to alter the MasterCard Priceless script to say:

3 tickets: $42.00
3 hotdogs, 3 popcorn, 3 sodas: $27.00
2 autographed baseball $90.00
watching the Giants win: priceless
false

Take note of the various variables and their data types. Write a brief summary in this section of the README.md file listing the:

• Variable name
• Its data type
• and example values you can assign them.

scriptTemplateLine1 - String - "character", "4", "%s"

people - integer - 4, 5, 10

ticketPrice - float - 2.7f, 19.42f, 99.9f

itemPrice - double - 6.2, 3.7, 10.12

trueOrFalse - boolean - true, false

formatter - NumberFormat - NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance()

Next give TWO example variable names and TWO example variable assignments that are WRONG and explain why.

• Hint: your IDE can help you discover these!

int smallNumber = 0.01 - This is an incorrect variable assingment because integers cannot have fractional values.

String notWords = 3 - This is an incorrect variable assignment because while you can have numbers in strings, you need to have double quotes around them to make it a string.

Pick several of the Java format specifiers below and define variables of the correct type utilize sout and String.format to view the resulting formats.

• Commit your working code
• Push it to your Remote/origin branch (i.e. GitHub)
• Then issue a Pull request to the instructor branch
  • Make sure to save the Pull request URL and submit it for the lab.
