Variable Data Types Programming languages use variables to store
data that the program uses. In Java we have specific variable
types to hold certain kinds of data. Here is a list of the data
types available in Java: |byte||Byte-length integer – stores a
tiny integer value.| |short||Short integer – store a small
integer value.| |int||Integer – store a regular integer value.|
|long||Long integer – store a massive integer value.|
|float||Stores rational (decimal) numbers.| |double||Stores
large rational (decimal) numbers| |char||Stores a single
character| |boolean||A boolean value (true or false).| When
using these variable types in Java, we declare the type but
putting the name shown above first and then giving our variable
its own name. int myNumber = 8; This creates a variable of type
integer called “myNumber” and give the variable the value of 8.
Note the naming of the variable. You will see that it begins
with a lower case letter with the second word beginning with an
upper case letter. This is called “came
