Questions and Answers

What is the significance of Java being strongly typed?

  • Errors can occur during runtime if types are mixed.
  • It allows for more flexible variable declarations.
  • Variables can automatically change type during execution.
  • It prevents the mixing of incompatible data types. (correct)
  • Which type of data does Java consider primitive?

  • Arrays
  • Strings
  • Objects
  • Characters (correct)
  • How does Java's type system contribute to debugging?

  • It makes the code predictable and helps catch type-related errors early. (correct)
  • It allows dynamic type changes that simplify finding errors.
  • It requires detailed type declarations that complicate the debugging process.
  • It eliminates all runtime errors before the program runs.
  • Which analogy is used to describe primitive and non-primitive data types in Java?

    Study Notes

    Java Data Types

    • Java is statically and strongly typed. This means every variable has a fixed type that cannot change, helping prevent errors before running.
    • Predefined types enable strong type checking, preventing mixing incompatible data types (e.g., adding a number to a string).
    • Variables and constants require explicit data type declarations (e.g., specifying if a variable holds a number, text, or boolean).
    • This approach makes code predictable and easier to debug.

    Data Type Categories

    • Java data types are categorized into primitive and non-primitive types.
    • Primitive types are simple, akin to basic building blocks like LEGO bricks (e.g., numbers, characters).
    • Non-primitive types are complex structures built from primitive types, like buildings comprised of LEGO bricks.
