// Invalid identifiers:

int 2ndNumber = 5; // Cannot start with a digit

Types of Data Types

--------------------

1 Primitive

------------

Declared using small letters

Holds single variable

Eg: byte, short, int(whole numbers)

long, float, double(decimal numbers)

char(single character written inside''

boolean(true/false)

2 Non-Primitive

----------------

-----------

datatype variable = assignment

Eg:

---

float price=225.50f;
String name="Welcome";

char grade='A';

boolean =true;

float f1 = 35e3f;

double d1 = 12E4d;

char myVar1 = 65

int a=100; //variables values can change any time

Difference between primitive and non-primitive datatype

------------------------------------------------------------

[Link] types always hold a value, whereas non-primitive types can be null.

[Link] types start with a lowercase letter (like int), while non-primitive types
typically starts with an uppercase letter (like String).

Usage of VAR keyword

-------------------------------

var myNum = 5; // int

var myDouble = 9.98; // double

var myChar = 'D'; // char

var myBoolean = true; // boolean

var myString = "Hello"; // String
