Variables and Data types in Java

 MY PROGRAMMING PARADISE

Variables:

Variables are used to store data in a computer’s memory. In other words, we can say, variables are just like a container that holds the value while the java program executed. There are three types of variables in java:

1- Local

2- Instance

3- Static

 

Rules for declaring identifier (Variable name)

1- All identifiers must begin with a letter, currency character, or underscore.

2- Blank spaces are not allowed.

3- An identifier name is case-sensitive.

4- A keyword cannot be used as an identifier.

 

Declaring variables:

byte age = 28;

short salary =32500;

float price = 25.50f;

char name = ‘v’;

boolean flag=true;

 

Data types:

There are two types of data types in java.

1- Primitive Data type

2- Non- primitive Data types

 

Primitive Data type:

There are mainly eight types of primitive data types:

Types

Size

Range

Default Value

byte

1 Byte

[-128, 127]

0

short

2 Byte

[-32,768 , 32,767]

0

int

4 Byte

[-231 , 231-1 ]

0

long

8 Byte

[-263 , 263-1]

0

float

4 Byte

[-] See Java Doc

0.0f

double

8 Byte

[-]See Java Doc

0.0d

char

2 Byte

[A, B, C…]

'\u0000'

boolean

1 Byte

[True, False]

False

 

Non-Primitive Data type:

Non- Primitive data types refer to objects and hence they are called Reference Data types. Objects can be accessed through reference data types. Example of non-primitive data types includes String, Array, Classes, and Interface, etc.

Data Types In SQL

  Data Types In SQL W hat is Data Type? A data type as the name suggests it is the type or category to which the data belongs to. A data type specifies a particular type of data, such as integer, floating-point, Boolean, etc. In SQL, the data type defines the type of data to be stored in each column of a table. SQL data types can be broadly divided into three categories 1.       Numeric Data Types 2.       String Data Types 3.       Data & Time Data Types Numeric Data Types String Data Types Data&Time DataTypes BIT CHAR(SIZE) DATE TINYINT VARCHAR(SIZE) TIME SMALLINT TEXT(SIZE) DATETIME MEDIUMINT TINYTEXT(SIZE) TIMESTAMP INT MEDIUMTEXT(SIZE) YEAR BIGINT LONGTEXT   ...

Switch Statement In Java

Switch Statement:  The switch statement is just like if-else-if ladder statement. It executes one statement from multiple conditions. It works with a byte, short, int, long, and String. In other words, we can say the Switch case statement is a substitute for a long if statement that compares to several integral values. Syntax of Switch statement in java Enhance Switch or Switch With Arrow: The new syntax uses the -> operator instead of the colon we're used to with switch statements. Also, there's no break keyword. Another addition is the fact that we can now have comma-delimited criteria. Syntax of Enhance Switch in java  

Conditional Statements In Java

  Conditionals Statement   A conditional statement  is a set of rules performed if a certain condition is met. A conditional statement begins with the keyword if followed by parentheses. The result of the evaluation is true or false. ·       ‘ if ‘ statement ·       ‘ if-else ‘ statement ·         Nested ‘ if ‘ statement ·       ‘ if-else - if ‘ statement IF statement: ‘IF’ statement is the most basic and simple statement among all the statements. For example- if a value is less than 0, return “Negative value”. Let’s see an example- IF-ELSE statement: The if-else is statement is an extended version of If. Let’s see an example- Nested IF-ELSE statement : In Java, when there is an if statement inside another if statement then it is known as nested if-else. Let’s see an example- IF-ELSE-IF: ‘ if-else-if ’ statement is used when we need to check mul...
