    1. A variable stores a value that can change during program execution and must follow naming rules. 2. There are 8 primitive datatypes in Java including int, float, long, and boolean. Variables must be declared before use and have default values. 3. Literals are constant values that can be assigned to variables like integer, float, and string literals. Keywords are reserved words that cannot be used as identifiers.

    Variables and Datatypes

    Just like we have some rules that we follow to speak English( the grammar ), we have some rules to
    follow while writing a java

    Program. The set of these rules is called syntax.

    Variables

    A variable is a contanet that stores a value. This value can be changed during the execution of the
    program.

    Example :

    Int number = 8; -- value it stores!

    Data type variable name

    Rules for declaring a variable name

    We can choose a name while declaring a java variable if the following rules are followed :

    1. Must not being with a digit -- int 1array; -- is invalid !


    2. Name in case sensitive -- kunal and Kunal are different !
    3. Should not be a keyword (like void)
    4. While space not allowed. – int k u n a l -- is invalid !
    5. Can contain alphabets, $ character, _ character and digits if the other condition are met.

    Data Types

    Data types in java fall under the following categories

    1. Primitive Data Types(Inteinsic)


    2. Non – Primitive Data Types (Derived)

    Primitive Data Type

    Java is statically typed. – variables must be declared before use !

    There are 8 primitive data types supported by java :

    1. Byte = value ranges from -128 to 127


    Takes 2 bytes
    Default value is 0
    2. Short = value range from –(2^16)/2 to (2^16)/2 -1
    Takes 2 bytes
    Default value is 0

    3. Int = value range from –(2^32)/2 to (2^32)/2 -1


    Takes 4 bytes
    Default value is 0

    4. Float = Takes 4 bytes


    Default value is 0.0f

    5. Long = Takes 8 bytes


    Default value is 0

    6. Double=Takes 8 bytes
    Default value is 0.0d

    7. Char = value ranges from 0 to 65535


    Takes 2 bytes
    Default value is ‘\U000’

    8. Boolean= value can be true or false


    Size depends on JVM
    Default value is false

    Quick Que :

    write a java program to add three numbers.

    In order to choose the data type we first need to find the type of data we want to store after that we
    need to anally the

    Min & max value we might use

    Literals

    A constant value which can be assigned to the variable is called as a literal

    101 -- Integer literal

    10.1f – float literal


    10.1 -- double literal

    ‘A’ -- character literal

    True -- Boolean literal

    “kunal” -- string literal

    Keywords

    Words which are reserved and used by the java compiler. They cannot be used as an identifier.

    Reading data from the keyboard

    In order to read data from the keyboard java has a scanner class

    Scanner class has a bt of method to read the data from the keyboard

    Example :

    Scanner S = new Scanner(System.in); -- Read from the keyboard

    Int a = s.nextInt(); -- Method to read from the keyboard (integer in this case)
