Java Token

 A token is the smallest element of a program that is meaningful to the compiler.

Token Meaning Example

Keyword A variable is a meaningful name of data storage location in computer memory. int continue
When using a variable you refer to memory address of computer. break public
return do
while for
Constant Constants are expressions with a fixed value. They are also called as literals final int a=20;
Syntax: final data_type variable_name;

Identifier Identifiers are the names of variables, methods, classes, packages and MYVARIABLE
interfaces. _myvariable
$myvariable
_9pins
andros
??????
String Sequence of characters. char[] ch={'a','t','n','y','l','a'};

String s=new String(ch);

Special Symbol Symbols other than the Alphabets and Digits and white-spaces. [] () {}, ; * =

Operators A symbol that represents a specific mathematical or non-mathematical action. / + == ?
Keyword:

Java keywords cannot be used as identifiers.

Constant/Literals:

Constants/Literals is an identifier whose value is fixed and does not change during the execution of the
program.

Data Types:

 Data types specify the different sizes and values that can be stored in the variable..

Page 11 Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education

Variables:

 A variable is a container which holds the value while the Java program is executed.
 A variable is assigned with a data type.
 Variable is a name of memory location.
 Rules for naming variable:

Variable Declaration and initialization:

Types/Scope of Variables :

Local Instance Class/ Static

• A variable that is • A variable that is • A variable that is
declared inside the declared inside the declared as static is
method is called class but outside the called as Class/ Static
Local Variable. method is called variable.
instance variable.

Dynamic Initialization:

 Initializing a variable at run time is called dynamic initialization.

 Java allows variables to be initialized dynamically, using any expression valid at the time the variable is declared.

Array and String:

 Array:
 An array is a collection of similar types of data.
 For example,
if we want to store the names of 100 people then we can create an array of the
string type that can store 100 names.
Syntax: datatype[ ] arrayname;
Example: double[ ] percentage;

 In Java, we can initialize arrays during declaration. For Example: int[ ] age={12,4,5,2,5};

 String:
 String is basically an object that represents sequence of char values. For example:
 An array of characters works same as Java string. char[] ch={‘M’,’S’,’B’,’T’,’E’};
String s=new String(ch);
