Java Basic Syntax Guide

The document is a guide on Java basic syntax, covering topics such as built-in data types, including primitive and reference types. It details the characteristics and uses of various primitive data types like byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, and boolean, as well as reference data types such as classes, interfaces, arrays, and enums. Additionally, it includes sections on editing, compiling, executing, printing, and parsing command-line arguments.

Editing, compiling, and executing.

Built in data types


• primitive
• reference

Primitive data types


1.byte
2.short
3.int
4.long
5.float
6.double
7.char
8.boolean

Built-in data types.

Declaration and assignment


statements.

byte
• Size: 8-bit
• Range: -128 to 127

• Used for saving memory in large arrays and when dealing with raw
data from files or networks.

4

short

• Size: 16-bit
• Range: -32,768 to 32,767

• useful for applications requiring a number range wider than ‘byte’

Integer
• Size: 32-bit
• Range: -2^31 to 2^31-1

• Commonly used as the


default data type for
integer values.

5
01/03/2025

long

• Size: 64-bit
• Range: -2^63 to 2^63-1

• Used when a wider range than ‘int’ is needed, append ‘L’ to indicate a
long literal.

Floating-point
numbers.
• Size: 32-bit
• Range: Approximately
±3.40282347E+38F (6-
7 significant decimal
digits)

• Used for precise


values that require
fractional parts,
append’f’ to indicate a
float literal.

6

double

• Size: 64-bit
• Range: Approximately ±1.79769313486231570E+308 (15 significant
decimal digits)

• Default data type for decimal values, offering a wider range and
precision than ‘float’

char
• Size: 16-bit
• Range: 0 to 65,535 (characters in Unicode)

• Used to store a single character.

7
01/03/2025

Booleans
• Size: 1-bit
• Range: true or
false

• Used for
simple flags
that track
true/false
conditions.

8

Comparison operators.

Reference data types


1.Classes
2.Interfaces
3.Arrays
4.Enums

9
01/03/2025

Classes

• Classes are blueprints for


creating objects. They define a
type by bundling data and
methods that work on the data.

Interfaces

• Interfaces are abstract types


that allow you to define a
contract that classes can
implement. They can contain
method signatures but no
method bodies.

10
01/03/2025

Arrays

• Arrays are containers that hold a fixed number of values of a single


type.

Enums

• Enums are special classes


that represent a group of
constants (unchangeable
variables, like final
variables).
