Data Types in Java

Java data types are categorized into Primitive and Non-Primitive types. Primitive types include int, float, char, and boolean, while Non-Primitive types consist of Strings, Arrays, and user-defined Classes and Objects. These types are essential for storing and manipulating data in Java programming.

Data Types in Java

Java data types are divided into Primitive Data Types and Non-Primitive Data Types.

1. Primitive Data Types

Primitive data types are predefined by the language and stored directly in memory. They are
lightweight and simple.

 int is commonly used for integers unless memory optimization is required.


 Use float for decimal numbers when memory is a concern, but double is more precise.
 char holds a single character enclosed in single quotes (e.g., 'A').
 boolean is used for true/false values in conditional statements.

2. Non-Primitive Data Types

Non-primitive (or reference) data types are created by the programmer and include objects,
arrays, and strings.

 String: Represents a sequence of characters.

Ex: String name = "Hello, World!";

 Array: Used to store multiple values of the same data type.

Ex: int[] numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

 Classes and Objects: Defined by the programmer to model real-world entities


class Student {
String name;
int age;
}
