Data Types:
In java there are two types of data types:
-
Primitive data type.
-
Non-Primitive data type.
Primitive data type:
Primitive data types are the basic building blocks that store simple values directly in memory.Primitive data types are fixed.
-
boolean
-
char
-
byte
-
int
-
short
-
long
-
float
-
double
Boolean:
- Stores true or false values
char:
- char Stores a single character/letter or ASCII values
byte:
-
Stores whole numbers from -128 to 127
int:
- Stores whole numbers from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
## short:
- Stores whole numbers from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
-
Stores whole numbers from -32,768 to 32,767
long:
- Stores whole numbers from -32,768 to 32,767
float:
-
float temperature = 36.6f;
-
This stores a decimal number representing body temperature.
double:
- Stores fractional numbers. Sufficient for storing 15 to 16 decimal digits
Non-Primitive data type:
Non primitive data types are non fixed They are ,
-
string
-
object
-
array
Variables:
Data types are used in variable,there are two types are variables they are,
-
Local variable
-
Global variable
