Data Types I

The document discusses data types in Java, categorizing them into primitive types (boolean, char, byte, short, int, long, float, double) and non-primitive types (Classes, Interfaces, Arrays). It explains the necessity of variable declaration in Java as a statically typed programming language and addresses the size of the char datatype in relation to the Unicode system. The document also touches on type casting and the implications of using different data types in memory.

Q. Char Datatype can store a single character so why is it of size
2 bytes and what is \U0000?

While using 16 bits for every character may seem like overkill for representing many
characters that only need 8 bits (or even fewer), Java's design emphasizes consistency,
portability, and robust internationalization support. This design decision ensures that Java
can handle text and characters from various languages and character sets without
requiring extensive conversions or adjustments.

It is because java uses Unicode system not ASCII code
