Java Data Types

Java is a strongly typed language. Part of java's safety and robustness comes from this fact. You can broadly classify java primitive data types as given below:

Integers

Java defines 4 integer types. These include both positive and negative numbers.

Type	Size	Reference Example
byte	8 bits	byte x,y,z;
short	2 bytes	short x;
int	4 bytes	int num;
long	8 bytes	long millise;

Floating point numbers

Floating point numbers are very useful when we are evaluating expressions that require fractional precisions. Java defines 2 types of floating point numbers, they are float, and double.

Type	Size	Reference Example
float	4 bytes	float percentage;
double	8 bytes	double distance;

Characters

In java we store characters by using char data type. Size of character is 2 bytes.

Example:

char a='c';

Booleans

In java we use boolean for logical values, it can represent either true or false.

Example:

boolean isNumber=false;

Where can we use serialization?

Whenever an object has to sent over the network, those objects should be serialized. Also if the state of an object is to be saved, objects need to be serilazed.
