Short Answers (Java Programming)

1. What do you mean by data type?

Ans. Data types specify the size and type of values that can be stored in a variable. For example, float y; declares y as
a float type variable.

2. Define variable with an example.

Ans. A variable is a named memory location used to store data. Example: float k = 120;

3. What do you mean by constant?

Ans. Constants are fixed values that do not change.

Examples:

- Integer: 23

- Real: 2.3

- Character: 'g'

- String: "Online"

- Boolean: true, false

- Null:

4. State two kinds of data types.

Ans.

- Primitive: byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean

- Non-Primitive: classes, arrays, interfaces

5. What do you understand by token? Name types.

Ans. Tokens are components of Java statements. Types:

- Keywords

- Identifiers

- Literals
- Operators

- Separators

- Punctuators

- Assignments

6. Rules for assigning a variable in Java:

Ans.

- No space in names

- Cannot start with a number

- Can use letters, digits, _, $

- Names should be meaningful

7. Explain ‘type casting’.

Ans. Converting one data type to another manually is type casting.

Example:

float x = 25.34f;

int n = 30 + (int)x;

8. Perform the following:

a) double pi = 3.142;

b) float y = 1.732f;

9. Distinguish between:

a) Integer vs Floating Constant:

- Integer: whole number (e.g., 10)

- Floating: has decimal (e.g., 10.5)

b) Token vs Identifier:

- Token: keywords, literals, operators, etc.


- Identifier: names for variables, methods, etc.

c) Character vs String Constant:

- Char: 'a'

- String: "a"

d) Character vs Boolean Literal:

- Char: 'x'

- Boolean: true, false

10. Data types:

a) int

b) long

c) float or double

d) char

11. Boolean data type:

Ans. Holds true or false.

Example: boolean flag = true;

12. Primitive data types:

Ans. Predefined types: byte, int, float, char, etc.

13. Why define data type in Java?

Ans. It helps the compiler allocate memory efficiently.

14. Define with example:

a) Implicit:

int a; long b; c = a + b; // a is converted to long


b) Explicit:

double c = 12.3; int x = (int)c;

15. Define ‘Coercion’:

Ans. Automatic type conversion to the higher data type in expressions.

16. Type conversion:

Ans.

- Implicit: automatic

- Explicit: user-defined using casting

17. Static vs Dynamic Declaration:

- Static: int a = 5;

- Dynamic: int a = sc.nextInt();

18. Non-primitive data types:

Ans. Reference types like arrays, classes, interfaces.

19. Return data type:

i) double

ii) double

20. Resultant data types:

Given: int i; float f; double d; char c; byte b;

a) i + c/b → int

b) f/d + c*f → double

c) i + f – b*c → float

d) (f/i)*c + s → float
e) i + f - c + b/d → double

f) i/c + f/b → float
