PREFACE

Computer programming plays a crucial role in people’s lives nowadays. It provides

the necessary tools in order for one to use and it makes the work much easier than before.
To achieve the Learning Outcome 1 (Apply basics of Java language) in Computer
Programming NC III Java, this Self-Learning Kit mainly focuses on the different Java data
types that a student can use in Java programming language.

This Self-Learning Kit (SLK) will help the learners deepen their knowledge about the
Java Data types in accordance with Java framework. This material is designed for Grade
11 and 12 students who need remediation and who are willing to learn in self-paced mode.

For “you” to start, remember to do the following tips to successfully achieve the
objectives of this Self-Learning Kit (SLK): keep this material in good condition and neat all
the time; do not write any unnecessary things on its pages; use separate paper as your
answer sheet; read and follow all the instructions carefully; answer the given task before
you start the lesson; take note and record points of clarification; try to achieve at least
80% level of proficiency in every activity; work diligently and honestly; answer the activities
thoroughly and find out the given description in the progress chart after having self-check
of the activities.

 Working With Java Data Types With Java Framework

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW?

JAVA DATA TYPES

THE PRIMITIVE TYPES

There are eight primitive data types supported by Java. Primitive data types are
predefined by the language and named by a keyword. Let us now look into details about
the eight-primitive data types.

1. Integers consist of byte, short, int, and long that represent signed whole number.
Name Width in Bits Range
-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to
long 64
9,223,372,036,854,775,807
int 32 -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
short 16 -32,768 to 32,767
byte 8 -128 to 127

2. Floating-point numbers include float and double that can be numbers with
fractional/decimal parts.
Name Width in Bits Approximate Range
double 64 4.9E-324 to 1.8E+308
float 32 1.4E-045 to 3.4E+038

3. Characters such as “char” are symbols in a character set that is similar to letters
and numbers.
Name Width Approximate Range
• Minimum value is ‘\u0000’ or 0.
16-bit
char • Maximum value is ‘\uffff’ or 65,535
Unicode Character
inclusive.

4. Boolean represents “true” or “false” values.

JAVA LITERALS
A literal is a source code representation of a fixed value. It is represented directly in
the code without any computation.
Literals can be assigned to any primitive type variable. For example:

class Literals {
public static void main (String args []) {
byte a = 68;
char b = ‘A’;
}
}

Sample Output:
68
A
7
Self-Learning Kit in Information and Communications Technology

String literals in Java are specified like they are in most other languages by enclosing
a sequence of characters between a pair of double quotes. Examples of string literals are:
“Hello World”
“two\nlines”
“\”This is in quotes\””
String and char types of literals can contain any Unicode characters. For example:
char a = ‘ \uFF21’;
String a = “\uFF21”;
Sample Output:
A
A
byte, int, long, and short can be expressed in decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16) or
octal (base 8) number systems as well.
Prefix 0 is used to indicate octal, and prefix 0x indicates hexadecimal when using these
number systems for literals. For example –
int decimal = 100;
int octal = 0144;
int hexa = 0x64;
Sample Output:
100
100
100
REFERENCE DATA TYPES
• Reference variables are created using defined constructors of the classes. They
are used to access objects. These variables are declared to be of a specific type
that cannot be changed. For example, Employee, Puppy etc.
• Class objects, and various types of array variables come under reference data
type.
• Default value of any reference variable is null.
• A reference variable can be used to refer to any object of the declared type or
any compatible type.
Animal animal = new Animal “giraffe”;

DECLARING A VARIABLE
To declare a Java variable, follow this format:
DataType identifier [ = value] [, variable [ = value] ...];

Type is the name of a class or interface (e.g. int, double, boolean) while identifier
is the name of the variable (e.g. num1, num2, a, b). A user can initialize the variable by
specifying an equal sign (=) and a value. The initialization expression must result in a value
of the same (or compatible) use in the comma-separated list.
Identifier

int myAge = 18;

String message = “Hello World”;
Data Type boolean isAMovie = true;
float maxItemCost = 17.98;
Therefore, the value of variable myAge is now 18.
8
 Working With Java Data Types With Java Framework

Identifier names must start with a letter of the alphabet, an underscore (_), or a $.
Other characters may include digits.

a item_Cost item#Cost item-Cost

itemCost _itemCost item*Cost abstract
item$Cost itemCost2 2itemCost

Correct Wrong

Remember:
1. Use meaningful names for variables, such as customerFirstName, ageNextBirthday.
2. Be aware of using reserved keywords in naming variables.

RESERVED KEYWORDS
Below is the list of some java reserved keywords
boolean abstract break finally class implements
byte final case for extends throws
char native catch if interface
double private continue return instanceof super
float protected default switch new this
int public do else false null
long static throw try true
short synchronized while
void transient import package const goto
volatile

The table below shows some examples of variable declarations of various types:

int x,y,z //declares three ints, x,y,z

//declares three more ints, //
int a = 3, b, c = 5;
initializing a and c.
byte e = 22; //initializes e.
short s = 10000;
//initializes s and r.
short r = -20000;
double pi = 3.14159; //declares an approximation of pi.
char f = ‘f’; //the variable f has the value ‘f’.
boolean isFinished = false; // The two Boolean variables
isFinished and isAlmostFinished
boolean isAlmostFinished = true; are declared with initial values of
false and true respectively.
//String variable welcomeMessage is
String welcomeMessage = “Hello!!!”;
assigned the String value of “Hello!”

The identifiers that the user choose have nothing intrinsic in their names that indicates
their type. Java allows any properly formed identifier to have any declared type.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First and foremost, praises and thanks to God, the Almighty, for His guidance
throughout this Self-Learning Kit project to be completed successfully.

Secondly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to LRDMS Bataan for giving
me the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful project. Also, I am thankful and fortunate
enough to get constant encouragement, support and guidance from all staff of LRMDS
Bataan who helped us to produce a quality and accessible learning kit. I am also grateful
to my co-trainees (Kenneth Doctolero and Cheyser Charrese Gatchula) who helped
me in making fruitful ideas productively to accomplish this Self-Learning Kit in computer
programming java.

Thirdly, I would like to thank my friends who helped me a lot in finalizing this project
within a limited time frame. Crafting a learning kit as a product of an instructional method is
difficult, to be honest. One requires knowledge, wisdom and enough patience to review all
the contents from the starting point until the end. Professional consultations matter for the
verification and validation of the contents, leading to a more reliable source.

Lastly, I would like to describe my sincerity because I truly learned a lot of things in
making a learning kit for my students. As a teacher, it is my duty to not leave my learners
behind. They deserve not only the good, but the best quality of education that will enable
them to be globally competitive in all endeavors of their future careers. To dream is free,
but a dream must be concretized so that a goal is achieved.

 WORKING WITH JAVA DATA TYPES WITH JAVA FRAMEWORK
Java is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language. Object-oriented
(OO) programming has been proven to be one of the most effective and flexible
programming languages nowadays.
Java, unlike some languages before, allows the use of words and commands
instead of just symbols and numbers. Java also allows the creation of advanced data
types which represent real world things like a car or a computer where you can set the
characteristics of these objects and things they do.
Learning Java serves as a good introduction to software development.
As an ICT student and aspiring software engineer/developer, you need to know
and apply the different data types for you to produce an error-free program. To further
understand your lessons, this material is a big help for you to learn more about data
types and other essential topics in Java in order for you to proceed to the next topic.
