Primitive Data types in Java

-
Java programming language is very strong language. In java, all the variables and objects must have an explicit defined data type. The main role of this type is to tell the compiler that how much memory is needed to store the value of variable. In java we found that there are 2 types of data types.

1) Primitive data types.
2) Reference data types.

Primitive data types are name of reserved keywords. It is special data type built into the java language. The memory space is already allocated when the variables of primitive data types are created. But in reference data types, memory space has to be allocated using the new keywords. Java supports eight primitive datatypes. They are:-

Data type                     Description                              Size/Format                               Range

byte                           Byte-length integer             8-bit signed two's complement           -128 to 127

short                             short integer                    16-bit signed two's complement      -32,768 to 32,767

int                                    integer                         32-bit signed two's complement       -2147483648 to

long                               long integer                  64-bit signed two's complement -92223372854775808
                                                                                                                                           to
                                                                                                                             9223372036845775807

float                 single precision floating point      32-bit IEEE 754

double             double precision floating point     64-bit IEEE 754

char                       a single character                16-bit Unicode character

Boolean              a boolean value                       size is not precisely defined              True or False

Variable and Constant

 Variables are things whose value can be changed. It is same in Java also. Variable is a location of a computer's memory where the value can be stored to use in the programming. Variable are defined by user friendly name. (,) used to group the multiple variables.

Constant are variables whose value are not changed. Java programming language do not support the constant directly.  Static final keywords are used to convert a variable to constant. The Final modifier cause the value of the variable unchanged.

Logical operator in JAVA

-

 Logical operators are widely used in decision making in JAVA. The Operators are used to check the given condition or expression whether they are true or false. Mostly logical operators are used to check condition if there are two or more expression and whether the expressions(two or more expressions) are returning true or not. There are three logical operator i.e. AND Operator (&&), OR Operator (||) and NOT Operator (!). Lets see below example to explore it in more convenient way.  Let's suppose we are making console application based voting system. The criteria are defined below. 1)Must be citizen of some regulatory body, lets assume Nepal. At first he or she must have proof that he       or  she crossed 16 and has citizenship card. Then only the persoin is known as citizen.  1) Must have crossed age 18. (Age defined he or she is eligible for vote or not). 2) Must have Voting Card. If all the condition is satisfied then he or she is eligible to vote. Let's check this

Class and Object in Java

-
To understand the Class and Object in java, first you simply you imagine the real world. Suppose you have a house. In house we stay, before we stay we build a house. Before we build house, we design it. We make a sketch or blue print of that house. In that sketch we determine structure of house in form of architectural drawing. We all know that we can't stay in that architectural drawing. We have to built a house to stay in it. Here, class is like a sketch and the object is house. \ A class is like the architectural drawing of a house from which the house object is built.  Just as you can’t stay in an architectural drawing of a house, you cannot ‘stay’ in a class.  Just as someone has to build a house from its architectural drawing before you can  actually stay in it, you must build an object of a class before you can get a program to  perform the tasks defined in the class. In a housing estate, there are many houses built  from the same architectural design. Each of these houses

Loop Structure

It is aslo known as repetitive structure. Loop structure is used to run the block of codes until the condition is satisfied. While in execution, the if the condition is true then it is executed if the condition is false then the loop is terminated and follows the next statement of loop. Loop structure continue to execute until the condition is satisfied and it is very useful in many areas because of this feature.  In java programming language, there are three options to use repetitive structure. 1) ' while ' statement 2)' do-while' statement 3)' for ' statement 1)'while' statement In while statement, certain code of block runs which is inside the while loop structure until the condition becomes false. After being the condition false, the loop will terminate itself. Syntax:- while(<condition expression>) {      //program code } 2)'do-while '  statement It is also a type of statement. In this type of structure, while exp
