Variables in Java

Java is a statically typed programming language. It


means, all variables must be declared before its use. Java
is also a strictly typed language.
A variable is a container that holds the value while the
Java program is executed.
A variable is assigned with a data type.
Variable is a name of a memory location.
There are three types of variables in java: local, instance,
and static.
VARIABLE DECLARATION

Example:
int a;
float b;
Initialization of variable:

Example:
Int a=50;

INVALID IDENTIFIERS
Examples:

123hello (The identifier should not begin with numbers)
hello+word ( The plus (+) symbol cannot be used)

hello_&_world (ampersand symbol is not allowed)
Java'tpoint (we can not use an apostrophe symbol in an
identifier)

JAVA KEYWORDS

Keywords are particular words that act as a key to a code. These
are predefined words by Java so they cannot be used as a
variable or object name or class name.
