Well, this may not be news for the most of you java gurus out there, but many a times, the primitives DO need a revisit.
Primitives refer to the base types offered ‘out-of-the-box’ by the Java programming gamut.
The base need of primitives arose due to the advertising and popularity of Java as a compile once – run anywhere paradigm.
Anyways, the below table should be a harmless refresher for that primitive coder in you ;-)
| Data Type | Size (in bits) | Default Value (for fields) |
| byte | 8 | 0 |
| short | 16 | 0 |
| int | 32 | 0 |
| long | 64 | 0L |
| float | 32 | 0.0f |
| double | 64 (yes, same as long :-) ) | 0.0d |
| char | 16 | '\u0000' |
| boolean | 1 | FALSE |
Hope this gives some quick help to someone out there!
