what are primitive and non primitive data types in java code example
Example 1: primitive data types in java
/*
Java Data Types
There 2 Types Of Data Types In Java
1) Primitive -> byte, char, short, int, long, float, double and boolean.
2) Non-primitive -> (All Classes) -> String, Arrays etc.
Type Size Stores
byte 1 byte whole numbers from -128 to 127
short 2 bytes "" -32,768 to 32,767
int 4 bytes "" -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
long 8 bytes ""-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
float 4 bytes fractional numbers; for storing 6 to 7 decimal digits
double 8 bytes fractional numbers; "" 15 ""
boolean 1 bit true or false values
char 2 bytes single character/letter or ASCII values

Example 2: non primitive data types in java
Non-Primitive Data Types: These data types are not actually defined by
the programming language but are created by the programmer. They are
also called “reference variables” or “object references” since they
refer to a memory location which stores the data.
All classes are non-primitive data types.
Example : Object, String, Integer, Boolean, etc...
