Study Notes
Java Literals
- Literals represent fixed values directly used in code without needing computation.
- Examples of literals:
-
int a = 1;
-
float b = 2.5;
-
char c = 'F';
-
Integer Literals
- Numeric values without fractional or exponential parts.
- Four types:
- Binary (base 2), indicated by
0b
- Decimal (base 10)
- Octal (base 8), indicated by a leading
0
- Hexadecimal (base 16), indicated by
0x
- Binary (base 2), indicated by
- Examples:
- Binary:
int binaryNumber = 0b10010;
- Octal:
int octalNumber = 027;
- Decimal:
int decNumber = 34;
- Hexadecimal:
int hexNumber = 0x2F;
- Binary:
- Used to initialize integer-type variables:
byte
,short
,int
,long
.
Floating-point Literals
- Numeric literals representing fractional or exponential forms.
- Examples:
-
double myDouble = 3.4;
-
float myFloat = 3.4F;
- Scientific notation:
double myDoubleScientific = 3.445e2; // 344.5
-
- Used to initialize
float
anddouble
type variables.
Character Literals
- Represented by Unicode characters enclosed in single quotes.
- Example:
char letter = 'a';
- Escape sequences can be used, such as:
-
\b
(backspace) -
\t
(tab) -
\n
(new line)
-
String Literals
- Sequences of characters enclosed in double quotes.
- Examples:
-
String str1 = "Java Programming";
-
String str2 = "Programiz";
-
Boolean Literals
- Used to initialize boolean data types with two possible values:
true
andfalse
. - Examples:
-
boolean flag1 = false;
-
boolean flag2 = true;
-
