Programming 1

Lab 3: Java Variables (Numerical Data Types)


• Variables are containers for storing data values.

• Variables are used to represent values that may be changed in the program.

• Variables are for representing data of a certain type.

In Java, there are different types of variables, for example, String, char, Boolean,
and other numerical types. In this lab our focus will be in the numerical types. In
Java, there are six numeric types four integer and two floating point:

1. byte (1 byte), -128 to 127

2. short (2 bytes), -32,768 to 32,767

3. int (4 bytes), -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647

4. long (8 bytes),, -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,80

5. float (4 bytes), 7 decimal digits

6. double (8 bytes), 16 decimal digits

Declaring Variables
To declare a variable of one of the numeric types you would use the form:
datatype variableName;
For example, int x ;

Variables Assignment or Initialization


To fil up the declared variable with an appropriate value you would use the form:
variableName = value;
For example, x = 2 ;
There are other ways to initialize a variable as discussed in class.

Programming 1

Exercise1
a) Using eclipse, create a new java project called myProject2.

b) In myProject create a new class called “rectangleArea”

c) In the class, add the driver method “ public static void main (String [ ] args) ”

d) In the driver method, declare three variables (width, length, area), use double as
the data type.

e) Then, initialize your variable as follows

• width = 3

• length = 4

• area = width x length

f) Print the result of the area

Exercise 2
