Variables

VARIABLES
What is a variable ?
• A variable which holds value, during the life of a Java program.
•Every variable is assigned a data type which designates the type and
quantity of value it can hold.
•In order to use a variable in a program you to need to perform 2 steps

--Variable Declaration
--Variable Initialization
Variable Declaration
To declare a variable, you must specify the data type & give the variable a
unique name.
Variable-
Data-type
name
int count;
Variable Initialization
Container
To initialize a variable, you must assign it a valid value. named “count”
holding a value
100
count=100;
100
count
You can combine variable declaration and initialization.
int count=100;
NAMING CONVENTION OF VARIABLES
• can start with underscore(‘_’) but not with digits.
• Should be mnemonic i.e, designed to indicate to the casual observer the

intent of its use.
• Can use _(underscore), digits and letters.
• Should not use any reserved word.

TYPES OF VARIABLES
Local variables Instance variables Static variables

Consider this code snippet
class Guru99
{
int data = 99; //instance variable
static int a = 1; //static variable
void method()
{
int b = 90; //local variable
}
}
WHAT IS WIDENING?
Consider this code snippet
public class Test Can you predict the output?
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
YOLO
System.out.print("Y" + "O");
System.out.print('L' + 'O');
} YO155
}
Now, try to predict the output
public class Test
{
{
YO7679
System.out.print("Y" + "O");
System.out.print('L');
System.out.print('O'); YOLO
}
}
RULES FOR WIDENING PRIMITVE CONVERSION
•The result of adding Java chars, shorts or bytes is an int.

•If either operand is of type double, the other is converted to
double.
•Otherwise, if either operand is of type float, the other is
converted to float.
•Otherwise, if either operand is of type long, the other is
converted to long.
•Otherwise, both operands are converted to type int
WHAT IS NARROWING?
NARROWING OR EXPLICIT TYPE-CASTING
If we want to assign a value of larger data type to a smaller data

type we perform explicit type casting or narrowing.
•This is useful for incompatible data types where automatic conversion

cannot be done.
•Here, target-type specifies the desired type to convert the specified

value to.
Guess the output
public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
Error
char ch = 'c';
int num = 88;
ch = num;
}
}
Now, try to predict the output
class Simple
{
{
float f=10.5f;
//int a=f;//Compile time error
int a=(int)f; 10.5
System.out.println(f); 10
System.out.println(a);
}
}
