java number types code example

Example 1: all data types in java

Data Type	Size	Stores
byte		1 byte	whole numbers from -128 to 127
short		2 bytes	whole numbers from -32,768 to 32,767
int			4 bytes	whole numbers from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
long		8 bytes	whole numbers from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
float		4 bytes	fractional numbers; sufficient for storing 6 to 7 decimal digits
double		8 bytes	fractional numbers; sufficient for storing 15 decimal digits
boolean		1 bit	true or false values
char		2 bytes	single character/letter or ASCII values

Example 2: 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 3: what is primitive data type in java

Primitive types are the most basic data types available within the Java language. There are 8: boolean , byte , char , short , int , long , float and double . These types serve as the building blocks of data manipulation in Java. Such types serve only one purpose — containing pure, simple values of a kind.

Example 4: how to have a only number type in java

class scratch{
    public static Number haha(Number yo){
        return yo;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(haha( (int) 5 ));
        System.out.println(haha( (double) 5.0 ));
        System.out.println(haha( (long) 5 ));
        System.out.println(haha( (float) 5.0 ));
        //all of these classes extend the java.lang.Number class 

        System.out.println(haha("Hey"));
        //error because the java.lang.String class does not extend the java.lang.Number class
    }
}
