This seems to be a fairly clear definition from 
http://web.deu.edu.tr/doc/oreily/java/langref/ch04_js.htm

    Primary expressions are constructs that fetch or create values, but
    do not directly perform computations on them

So, I think that this is also a primary expression:

    public float almostPi() { return 22.0/7.0 }

At least, some other languages than Java think would accept it as one, 
and possibly would accept this too:

r.nextDouble();

where R was declared as: Random r = new Random(); 

Both my examples match the definition I quoted.
