Variables and Data types


          Create a program that will let the user input its name and password, if input name and password is correct end the program. If Name and password is wrong end the program.
Variables in Java have a type.
The type defines what kinds of values a variable is allowed to store.
Integer Types:
int: Most numbers you’ll deal with.
long: Big integers; science, finance, computing.
short: Small integers. Legacy. Not very useful.
byte: Very small integers, useful for generic data.Floating Point (Decimal) Types:
float: Single-precision decimal numbers
double: Double-precision decimal numbers.
Other Types:
String: Text strings.
boolean: True or false.
char: Latin Alphanumeric Characters
Variable names (or identifiers) may be any length, but must start with:
A letter (a – z),
A dollar sign ($),
Or, an underscore ( _ ).
Identifiers cannot contain special operation symbols like +, -, *, /, &, %, ^, etc.
Certain reserved keywords in the Java language are illegal.
For example, “class”, “static”, “int”, etc.
Java is a case-sensitive - capitalization matters.
“Camel Case”: Start variable names with lower case and capitalize each word: “camelsHaveHumps”.
