Java Data Types


Variables In Java

//declaring a variable x of type


//integer and assigned value
A variable is a named field containing
information that your program uses. You can //30
also think of a variable as a name of int x = 30;
memory location where the variable value is
stored. //declaring a variable c of type
In Java, a variable has to be declared //character and assigned value
before it is used. //‘r’

Char b = ‘r’;

Data Types

Data Types refer to the type of data you will store in a variable. For
example a variable can be of type number, string or an object of a
custom class.

Primitive And Non-Primitive Types

A primitive data type is pre-built or defined by the programming


language, in this case Java. The size and type of variable values are fixed
and you do not have to do anything special to use them.

Non-primitive, or reference data types, don't store the value, but store a
reference to that value. Reference data types can be String , array, class or
interface

Integers

There are 4 types of integer data types in Java – byte, short, int, long.

//A byte type variable takes 1 byte of storage and can store values from -128 to 127 byte a =
2;

//The short data type is a 16-bit. It has a minimum value of -32,768 and a maximum value of 32,767
short b = 156;

//The int data type is a 32-bit signed two’s complement integer, taking values from -2^31 to 2^31-1
int c = 32769;

//The long data type is a 64 bit’two’s complement integer taking values from -2^63 to 2^63- long l
= 24678822;

Floating Points

There are 2 types of floating point data types in Java – double and float.

Single-precision 32-bit IEEE 754 floating point. Its value range is


unlimited.
float f = 56.8929929;

//double data type is a double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point. Its value
range is unlimited.
double d = 4.54877;

The Boolean Datatype

A boolean type is declared with the boolean keyword and only takes
the values true or false:

boolean isSaladHealthy = true;


boolean isSaladTasty = false;
System.out.println(isSaladHealthy); // Outputs true
System.out.println(isSaladTasty); // Outputs false

The Char Datatype

The char data type is a single 16-bit Unicode character. A char is a


single character:

char grade = ‘A’;


System.out.println(grade); // Outputs A

Class – Defining custom data types

A class is a data type in Java that


defines a template or blueprint for an
object. In other words a class refers
to the category or type of objects. A
class allows you to declare custom
data types.

For example you can define a class cat


or car or savings accounts to store
objects of specific types. A class has
variables defining properties and
methods defining behavior of its
objects.

Strings In Java

A String in Java, representing a collection of characters, is actually an object of


type java.lang.String. The class contains methods that can perform certain
operations on strings.

String s = “hello”;
System.out.println(“The length of s is ” + s.length());//outputs The length
of s is 5

Arrays In Java

Arrays are used to store multiple homogeneous values in a single


variable. Note, in Java array indexes start from zero.

String fruits[] = {“apple”,“banana”,”mango”};


System.out.println(“The third fruit is” + fruits[2]); //outputs The third fruit is
mango

Interface

An interface in Java is used to specify the contract or capabilities that


implementing classes must implement. An interface has abstract methods,
with only signatures, which are then implemented by some classes. For
example, every corporate department may implement the Security Interface.

interface Security
{
boolean accessCheck(String employeeToken);
}
