Module 2 Core Java
Fundamentals Primitive data types-integers, floating point types , characters, Boolean • Data types are divided into two groups:
primitive data type: includes int,
long, short, byte, char, and Boolean.
Non-primitive data types include
arrays, classes, and strings. Integer types • Integer types store whole numbers, positive or negative (such as 123 or -456) without decimals. Floating point types • You should use a floating point type whenever you need a number with a decimal , such as 9.99 or 3.1415. • The float datatypes can store fractional numbers. • Note that you should end the value with an “f” for floats. public class Main{ Public static void main(String[] args ){ float myNum=5.75f; System.out.println(myNum); } } Boolean types
• A data type that can only one or two values , like:
• YES/NO • ON/OFF • TRUE/FALSE • For this , Java has a Boolean data type , which can only take the values true/false. Characters • The char data type is used to store a single character. The character must be surrounded by single quotes, like ‘a’ or ’C’. public class Main{ Public static void main(String[] args ) char myGrade = ‘B’ ; System.out.println(myGrade); } } Strings • The String data type stores a sequence of characters(text). • String values must be surrounded by double quotes. public class Main{ public static void main(String[] args){ String greeting = “Hello World”; System.out.println(greeting); } }
