    {
        int weight = 25;
        System.out.println( "weight = " + weight );

        float lengthOfBeak = (float) .417;
        System.out.println( "length of beak = " + lengthOfBeak );

        short shoeSize = 5;

        boolean isHungry = true;
        boolean isThirsty = false;

        System.out.println( "hungry? " + isHungry );
        System.out.println( "thirsty? " + isThirsty );

        char c = 'c';
        System.out.println( "character c = " + c );

        if ( weight == shoeSize )
        {
            System.out.println( "weight == shoeSize" );
        }
        else
        {
