Java Variables
Variables are containers for storing data values.
In Java, there are different types of variables, for example:
-
String
- stores text, such as "Hello". String values are surrounded by double quotes int
- stores integers (whole numbers), without decimals, such as 123 or -123float
- stores floating point numbers, with decimals, such as 19.99 or -19.99char
- stores single characters, such as 'a' or 'B'. Char values are surrounded by single quotesboolean
- stores values with two states: true or false
String-store text
The value of a String variable can be assigned using the assignment operator (=).
String values are surrounded by double quotes.
Example
public static void main(String[ ]args){ String name = "india"; System.out.println(name); } }
Float-
it can store a decimal number with up to 6-7 digits of precision.
The range of values that a float variable can store is 1.40129846432481707e-45 to 3.40282346638528860e+38.
Example
Public class Float{ public static void main(String[ ]args){ float num=56.34; system.out.println(“num1:”+num); } }
int (integer)-
store integer value, without decimals
Example
public static void main(String[ ]args){ int age= 15; System.out.println(age); } }
char-
A char variable in Java is a variable that stores a single character.
The value of a char variable can be assigned using the assignment operator (=).
A char value must be surrounded by single quotes, like 'A' or 'c'.
Example
public static void main(String[ ]args){
Char c=’a’;
system.out.println(c);
}
}
boolean-
A boolean variable in Java is a variable that stores a Boolean value.
Boolean values can be either true
or false.
Example
public static void main(String[ ] args){ boolean myBoolean=false; system.out.println(myBoolean); } }
