In this section, we've learned quite a bit. We learned about how variables and values can be created and how they have data types. We also learned about how constants work using the final keyword, and how you can't change them once they are initialized. Then, we began to discuss different types of operators: Arithmetic, relational, and logical operators which perform operations on their operands. User input was another topic that we explored, so that we could obtain data from outside of our program and place that data in memory using the scanner class and the standard input object, System.in. 

Finally, we ended this section with a couple of really cool little projects to help stretch our knowledge. We worked on an average of three program and a Mad Libs clone. In the next section, we will take our knowledge of and skills in Java even farther with control statements; syntax that allow us to have our code make decisions based on certain conditions being true or false. I'll see you there.
