Primitive Data Types

In Java, primitive data types are the most basic data types provided by the language. They directly store the value and are not objects. Java supports eight primitive data types, and each type has a specific size and range. Understanding these data types is crucial as they form the foundation of data handling in Java.

Syntax for Using Primitive Data Types

The general syntax for declaring and initializing a variable with a primitive data type is as follows:

type variableName = value;

• type: Defines the data type of the variable (e.g., int, char, double).
