    There are two types of data types in Java: primitive and non-primitive. The primitive data types include boolean, char, byte, short, int, long, float, and double which represent single values. The non-primitive data types include classes, interfaces, and arrays which can contain multiple values.

    Data Types

    Primitive data types Non-primitive data types

    Type 1 Type 2
    The primitive data types include The non-primitive data types
    boolean, char, byte, short, int, long, include Classes, Interfaces, and
    float and double. Arrays.

    Boolean Data Type
    The Boolean data type is used to store only
    two possible values: true and false. This data
    type is used for simple flags that track
    true/false conditions.
    3
    The Boolean data type specifies one bit of
    information, but its "size" can't be defined
    precisely.

    Example: Boolean one = false

    Byte Data Type
    The byte data type is an example of primitive
    data type. It is an 8-bit signed two's
    complement integer. Its value-range lies
    between -128 to 127 (inclusive). Its minimum
    value is -128 and maximum value is 127. Its
    4 default value is 0.

    The byte data type is used to save memory in


    large arrays where the memory savings is most
    required. It saves space because a byte is 4
    times smaller than an integer. It can also be
    used in place of "int" data type.

    Example: byte a = 10, byte b = -20

    Short Data Type
    The short data type is a 16-bit signed two's
    complement integer. Its value-range lies
    between -32,768 to 32,767 (inclusive). Its
    minimum value is -32,768 and maximum
    value is 32,767. Its default value is 0.
    3
    The short data type can also be used to save
    memory just like byte data type. A short
    data type is 2 times smaller than an integer.

    Example: short s = 10000, short r = -5000

    Int Data Type
    The int data type is a 32-bit signed two's
    complement integer. Its value-range lies
    between - 2,147,483,648 (-2^31) to
    2,147,483,647 (2^31 -1) (inclusive). Its
    minimum value is - 2,147,483,648and
    4 maximum value is 2,147,483,647. Its default
    value is 0.

    The int data type is generally used as a default


    data type for integral values unless if there is
    no problem about memory.

    Example: int a = 100000, int b = -200000

    Long Data Type
    The long data type is a 64-bit two's
    complement integer. Its value-range lies
    between -9,223,372,036,854,775,808(-2^63)
    to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807(2^63 -
    1)(inclusive). Its minimum value is -
    9,223,372,036,854,775,808and maximum 3
    value is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. Its
    default value is 0. The long data type is used
    when you need a range of values more than
    those provided by int.

    Example: long a = 100000L, long b = -


    200000L

    Float Data Type
    The float data type is a single-precision
    32-bit IEEE 754 floating point. Its value
    range is unlimited. It is recommended to
    use a float (instead of double) if you
    4 need to save memory in large arrays of
    floating point numbers. The float data
    type should never be used for precise
    values, such as currency. Its default value
    is 0.0F.

    Example: float f1 = 234.5f

    Double Data Type
    The double data type is a double-precision
    64-bit IEEE 754 floating point. Its value
    range is unlimited. The double data type is
    generally used for decimal values just like
    3
    float. The double data type also should
    never be used for precise values, such as
    currency. Its default value is 0.0d.

    Example: double d1 = 12.3

    Char Data Type
    The char data type is a single 16-bit
    Unicode character. Its value-range lies
    4 between '\u0000' (or 0) to '\uffff' (or
    65,535 inclusive).The char data type is
    used to store characters.

    Example: char letterA = 'A'
