Study Notes
Data Types
- Data types in Java are categorized into 2 classifications: primitive or standard data types and abstract or derived data types.
- Java defines eight primitive data types.
- Primitive types are built into the Java language.
- Primitive types directly represent data and lack methods.
- Java provides detailed instructions on how to operate on primitive types.
Integer Types
-
Byte: The smallest integer type, representing values between -128 and 127. -
Short: Represents integer values between -32768 and 32767. -
Int: Can handle larger numbers thanByteandShort, often the preferred choice for integer operations. -
Long: Represents the largest integer type, holding values beyond the range of regular integers.
Floating Point Types
- Floating point data types are used to represent numbers with fractional accuracy and are also referred to as "real numbers".
-
Float: Represented as a single-precision floating point type, suitable when limited precision and storage are desired. -
Double: Represents double-precision floating points, often favored due to its increased precision and speed for math-intensive tasks.
Character Types
- Character types in Java offer two representations: ASCII and Unicode.
-
Bytecan represent characters through ASCII codes. -
Charwas introduced specifically to accommodate Unicode characters, which broaden support beyond ASCII's scope, including Latin-based and non-Latin-based characters.
