Java Primitive Data Types and Keywords

Java's Primitive Data Types:

Java has 8 primitive data types:

1. byte - 8-bit signed integer

2. short - 16-bit signed integer

3. int - 32-bit signed integer

4. long - 64-bit signed integer

5. float - 32-bit floating point

6. double - 64-bit floating point

7. char - 16-bit Unicode character

8. boolean - true or false

Difference between int, float, and double:

1. int:

- Used to store whole numbers (integers)

- Example: int num = 25;

2. float:

- Used to store decimal numbers with single precision (less accurate)

- Must add 'f' or 'F' at the end

- Example: float price = 10.5f;

3. double:
- Used to store decimal numbers with double precision (more accurate)

- Default for decimal values

- Example: double pi = 3.14159;

Use of Keywords in Java:

Keywords are reserved words that have a predefined meaning in Java. They cannot be used as

variable names.

Examples:

1. class - Declares a class. Example: class MyClass { }

2. public - Specifies access level. Example: public void show() { }

3. static - Indicates that a method or variable belongs to the class, not instances. Example: static

int count;

4. void - Specifies that a method does not return a value. Example: public void main() { }

5. return - Used to return a value from a method. Example: return x + y;
