3 Lesson Concept of Data Types in Java

The document explains the concept of tokens in programming, detailing types such as literals, identifiers, punctuators, and operators. It categorizes literals into integer, real, character, and string types, and discusses the importance of selecting appropriate data types in Java, including primitive and non-primitive types. Additionally, it covers type conversion, distinguishing between implicit and explicit conversions, and provides a question bank for further understanding.

What are
Literals ?
 Literals are
constants.

 Constants means
fixed data value (i.e.:
which do not change).

 While writing any


program , there are

Literals
 Numbers which are
represented without
decimal point are integer
literals.

 These are the whole


numbers having positive
Real Literals
 Numbers which are
represented with decimal
point are real literals.

 These are floating-point


constants.
Character
 TheLiterals
constants ,which
are alphanumeric in
nature are called
character literals.

 All alphabets (upper /


lower
String Literals
 String is a set of
alphanumeric characters.

 A group of characters
enclosed within a pair of
opening & closing double
quotes is known as string
What
are
Punctuators
 Punctuators are the
punctuation signs used
as special characters in
Java.

 They are use to


separate sentences and
parts of sentences, and
 Examples : -

. (full stop)
(Underline)
? (Question mark)
What
are
Separators
 The special
characters , which are
used to separate the
characters or variables
are called as
separators.
What
are
Identifiers
 Identifiers are called
as variables in Java.

 A variable is a named
memory location ,which
contains a value.

 The value of a
variable can change

 Integer Type :
• It holds all whole
numbers having positive
or negative values.
• The data type (int ) is
used with the variable to

declare it.

 Floating Type :
• It stores all real
numbers (decimal
numbers).
• The data type (float) is
used withfloatthemvariable to

 Character Type :
• It holds only one
character
(alphabet ,digit, special
characters).
• The data type (char) is

used with the variable to
declare

 String Type :
• It stores more than one
character
(word ,sentence ,paragra

• The data type (String)

Data Types
in
Java
 In Java ,we have to deal
with various types of
data ,hence it becomes
necessary for a
programmer to select
appropriate data type
according to data taken.

 Data can be of many


types like numbers,

 Primitive data types
• These are also called as
Basic Data Types.
• They are predefined or
built-in in nature .
• E.g. : byte , int , long ,
float , double , char , short ,
boolean .

 Non-Primitive data types


Type Conversion

When you are


dealing with the different
data types in an
expression, the result may
be obtained in any form of
data types. This type of
conversion is called “Type
Type Conversion

Implicit Type Explicit Type


 Implicit Type

• In expression when the


data type of the result
gets converted
automatically into its
higher type ,this type of
conversion is called as
‘Implicit Type’ conversion.
•Example :-
int a;
float b;
float c;
c = a +
b
int flo
at
flo
 Explicit Type

• In some cases ,the


required data type
depends upon the User’s
choice but not dependent
on system. The User
forces the system to get
back into the desired data
type, known as ‘Explicit
