1. Integer type
Integer type is used to store integer (no decimal part) values, which can be positive or negative. Integer data can be divided into byte, short, int and long according to its memory size. Different data types have different value ranges, as shown in the table:
Data type | Memory space (8 bits equals 1 byte) | Value range |
byte | 8 bits | -128~127 |
short | 16 bit | -32768~32767 |
int | 32 bit | -2147483648~2147483647 |
long | 64 bit | -9223372036854775808~9223372036854775807 |
(1) Define int type variables with the following codes:
public class JavaDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { //int variable name = constant int x = 10; //The integer type is int, the variable name is x, and the constant is 10 System.out.println(x); //Output int variable x System.out.println(x * x); //Int variable * int variable = int data } }
Code running result:
10 100
(2) Any data type has its value range. If it exceeds its value range, there will be circular problems. These problems are called "data overflow" in Java.
Example: data overflow caused by int data type.
public class JavaDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { int max = Integer.MAX_VALUE; //Gets the maximum value of int int min = Integer.MIN_VALUE; //Gets the minimum value of int System.out.println("int The maximum value of is:" + max); System.out.println("int The minimum value of is:" + min); System.out.println("=====The following is int Data overflow====="); System.out.println("int Maximum value of+1 The results are:" + (max + 1)); //MAX + 1 = min System.out.println("int Maximum value of+2 The results are:" + (max + 2)); //Maximum + 2 = secondary minimum System.out.println("int Minimum value of-1 The results are:" + (min - 1)); //Min - 1 = max System.out.println("int Minimum value of-2 The results are:" + (min - 2)); //Minimum - 2 = secondary maximum } }
Code running result:
int The maximum value of is 2147483647 int The minimum value of is:-2147483648 =====The following is int Data overflow===== int Maximum value of+1 The results are:-2147483648 int Maximum value of+2 The results are:-2147483647 int Minimum value of-1 The result is: 2147483647 int Minimum value of-2 The result is: 2147483646
2. Floating point type
Floating point types represent numbers with fractional parts. Floating point types in Java language are divided into single precision floating point type (float) and double precision floating point type (double). They also have different value ranges, as shown in the table:
Data type | Memory space | Value range |
float | 32 bit | 1.4E-45~3.4028235E38 |
double | 64 bit | 4.9E-324~1.7976931348623157E308 |
Note: 1.4E-45 means: 1.4 times 10 to the - 45th power.
(1) Define double and float variables with the following code:
public class JavaDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { double x = 10.2; float y = 10F; double result = x * y; //double type * int type = double Type System.out.println(result); } }
Code running result:
102.0
Note: decimal is regarded as double by default. If float decimal is used, f or F should be added after the decimal.
3. Character type
The character type (char) is used to store a single character and occupies 16 bits (two bytes) of memory space. When defining a character type variable, it should be expressed in single quotation marks. For example,'s' represents a character, while "s" represents a string. Although there is only one character, it still represents a string rather than a character due to the use of double quotation marks. (in addition, the Java language uses unicode encoding, which can store 65526 characters; therefore, the characters in Java can process the languages of almost all countries)
(1) Define a character variable with the following code:
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { char ch = 'A'; System.out.println(ch); } }
Code running result:
A
(2) In any programming language, characters can be converted to and from int, and Java language is no exception.
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { char ch = 'B'; int num = ch; System.out.println(num); } }
Code running result:
66
(3) Note: the encoding of upper and lower case letters has a range.
Capital letter range: 'A' (65) ~ 'Z' (90); The result of A compilation is 65, and the result of Z compilation is 90
Lowercase letter range: 'a' (97) ~ 'z' (122); The result of a compilation is 97, and the result of z compilation is 122
Through the coding range, it can be found that there is a difference of 32 numbers between upper and lower case letters, so the conversion of upper and lower case letters can be realized. The program code is as follows:
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { char c = 'x'; int num = c; num -= 32; // num -= 32 is equivalent to num = nun - 32 System.out.println((char) num); } }
Code running result:
X
4. Boolean type
Boolean type, also known as logical type, defines boolean type variables through the keyword Boolean. There are only two values: true and false, which represent "true" and "false" in Boolean logic respectively. Boolean values cannot be converted to integer types. Boolean types are often used in process control.
example:
public class Dream { public static void main(String[] args) { int x = 30; int y = 40; boolean max = x > y; //Judge the size relationship between X and Y. if x is greater than y, output true; otherwise, output false System.out.println(max); } }
Code running result:
false
