Jayesh Deshmukh [ft JAVA VARIABLES 6 aa ——s ——" Jayesh Deshmukh ‘in| A Variable is a name given to a memory location. It is used to store a value that may vary. Java is a statically typed language, and hence, all the variables are declared before use. Variable Declaration a rm, int count; 1. datatype: Type of data that can be stored in this variable. 2. data_name: Name given to the variable. In this way, aname can only be given to a memory location. It can be assigned values in two ways: ¢ Variable Initialization ¢ Assigning value by taking input > Jayesh Deshmukh o Variable Initialization ¢ datatype: Type of data that can be stored in this variable. * variable_name: Name given to the variable. ¢ value: It is the initial value stored in the variable. datatype an Woy co i _ 5a int age = cm Reserved Memory for variable Jayesh Deshmukh [fy Variables naming in Java A variable name should be short and meaningful. It should begin with a lowercase letter. It can begin with special characters such as _ (underscore) and $ (dollar) sign. If the variable name contains multiple words, then use the camel case, i.e. variable name should start with a lowercase letter followed by an uppercase letter. For eg: iamRupnath, instaGram. Always try to avoid single character variable names such as i, j, and k except for the temporary variables. A variable name can not contain whitespaces. We can’t use keywords(pre-defined literals) as the variable names. Jayesh Deshmukh oo Types of Variables 1. Local Variables A variable declared inside the body of the method is called local variable. You can use this variable only within that method and the other methods in the class aren't even aware that the variable exists. > Jayesh Deshmukh BH fetes 18) 2. Instance Variables A variable declared inside the class but outside the body of the method, is called an instance variable. It is not declared as static. It is called an instance variable because its value is instance-specific and is not shared among instances. Jayesh Deshmukh Oo 3. Static Variables A variable that is declared as static is called a static variable. It cannot be local. You can create a single copy of the static variable and share it among all the instances of the class. Memory allocation for static variables happens only once when the class is loaded in the memory.
