JAVA: Data Types Conversion Chart

Do you like this Article?

In Java Programming Language, we must declare a variable name and type, before using it. The data type of a variable defines the the type of value it will contain. Java supports total 8 types of primitive data types. The name of this data types are all reserved as keywords.
Among which, 1) byte, 2) short, 3) int & 4) long can store integer values of different range.
5) float and 6) double can store floating numbers of different range.
7) boolean can store only true/false. It is used as flag, to perform boolean operation.
8) char can store a single 16-bit Unicode character of range from '\u0000' (0) to '\uffff' (65,535).
Apart from these, Java also provides a String data type which is defined as a Class (java.lang.String). It can contains alpha numeric values.

byte

Hardcoded said... 15 January 2014 at 20:05 You shouldn't use Boolean/Byte/Short/Integer/Long.valueOf(String) to get a (native) boolean/byte/... It's like calling: byte b = Byte.valueOf(Byte.parseBoolean(string));
Hardcoded said... 16 January 2014 at 14:51 The byte to String conversion doesn't convert the byte value to a String representation, it treats the byte as a character of the plattforms default charset. So this is most likely the wrong method to convert a byte to String
