What are the different types of constant variables and functions in Java?
In Java, constants, variables, and functions can have different types. Here are some common types:
Constant types:
- Integral constants: this includes integer types (byte, short, int, long) and character types (char).
- Floating point constants: include float and double data types.
- String constants are sequences of characters enclosed in double quotation marks.
- Boolean constants: consisting of true and false.
Variable Type:
- Integer variables include integer types (byte, short, int, long) and character types (char).
- Floating point variables include floating point types such as float and double.
- String variable: a sequence of characters represented using the String data type.
- Boolean variables: values represented as true or false using the boolean data type.
Function type:
- Void functions do not return a value and are indicated by using the void keyword.
- Integer function: returns a value of integer type (byte, short, int, long).
- Floating-point function: returns values of floating-point types (float, double).
- String functions: return values of type String.
- Boolean function: returns a value of either true or false in boolean type.
