“The Java programming language is multi-faceted. To use it developers need to understand what s meant by Java variables and recognize the different data types in the language. This course focuses on Java variables and more specifically the various primitive data types this language has to offer.

Follow along with this course and create variables in your program to comprehend the effects of static typing in Java. Then explore the various primitive data types in Java – from numeric types such as integers and doubles to text representations in the form of strings.

Finally you ll investigate the use of an ordered collection of data namely arrays. When you re done with this course you ll be able to confidently employ variables and several primitive data types when programming in Java.”
