Difference Between Primitive And Non-Primitive Data Type In Java

What is Data type?

• A simple word in data type stores the variable value.

There are two types of data types in java 

1. primitive data type
2. non-primitive data type       

Difference Between Primitive And Non-Primitive Data Type In Java

1) Primitive DataType

• The primitive data type is already predefined datatype in a java

• Primitive data types that give some specific range of value

• Primitive data type default value is ZERO(0)

• Primitive data types always start in the lowercase letter

• it's not any method type datatype

• Primitive data type full name is called us a wrapper class. like int to Integer.  

There are few(8 type) primitive data is available in the java

1. boolean
2. char
3. byte
4. short
5. int
6. long
7. float
8. double

Example

public class PremitiveDataType {
 
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  
 byte a=10;
 short b= 15;
 int c= 100;
 long d=10000;
 float e= 15.5f;
        double f = 20.3455d;

 System.out.println("byte datatype value is : "+a);
 System.out.println("short datatype value is : "+b);
 System.out.println("int datatype value is : "+c);
 System.out.println("long datatype value is : "+d);
 System.out.println("float datatype value is : "+e);
 System.out.println("double datatype value is : "+f);
 
 
 }
}

output

byte datatype value is : 10
short datatype value is : 15
int datatype value is : 100
long datatype value is : 10000
float datatype value is : 15.5
double datatype value is : 20.3455

2) Non-primitive DataType

• Non-primitive data type includes in some object and class

• non-primitive data type Create a user in your need purpose and not define in java

• non-primitive data is his own some range

• non-primitive data type his default value is null

• it starts with the upper case letter like us a String

• non-primitive datatype his own class and  method ex string is class and method and datatype

There are some Non-primitive data type are available

1. String
2. Array
3. Class
4. Object
5. Interface

Example

import java.util.Arrays;
public class NonPrimitiveDataType {
 
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  
  String name = "javaoverflow";
  int[] a= new int[]{1,2,3,4,5};
  
  
  System.out.println("our website name is : "+name);
  //hear tostring method to print array value
  System.out.println("arrays value is  : "+Arrays.toString(a));
  
  
  
 }

}

output

our website name is : javaoverflow
arrays value is  : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

so it's all about in Difference Between Primitive And Non-Primitive Data Type In Java.
