Java Data Types and Arrays Guide

This document covers data types, variables, and arrays in Java. It discusses why Java is strongly typed and defines its primitive data types. Sample programs demonstrate using the long, double, char, and boolean data types as well as dynamic variable initialization, variable scope/lifetime, type conversions, and single and multi-dimensional arrays. The goals are to explain why Java is strongly typed, its data types, primitive data types, and features such as type promotion rules and how arrays work in one, two, and three dimensions.

WHY JAVA IS STRONGLY


TYPED ?
In Java->

(1) Every variable has a type, Every expression


has a type and Every type is strictly defined.
(2) Also, all assignments are checked for type
compatibility.
(3) Any type mismatches during assignments
are errors that must be corrected before the
compiler will finish compiling the class.
Thus Java is called Strongly Typed language.

JAVAS TYPE CONVERSIONS


When one type of data is assigned to another type of
variable, an automatic type conversion will take place if below
two conditions are met->

The two types are compatible.

Destination type is larger than Source type.


When the above two conditions are met, WIDENING
CONVERSION takes place.

JAVAS TYPE PROMOTION


RULES
Java's widening conversions
are->

From

From

a byte to a short, an int, a long, a float, or a double,


a short to an int, a long, a float, or a double,
a char to an int, a long, a float, or a double,
an int to a long, a float, or a double,
a long to a float or a double,
a float to a double.

The Type Promotion Rules are:1. All byte and short values are promoted to int.
2. If one operand is a long, the whole expression is
promoted to long.
3. If one operand is a float, the entire expression is
promoted to float.
4. If any of the operands is double, the result is double.
