Original: Java Rules for Creating a Class, Data Types, and Static Variables
Short summary
Java tutorial explains class naming rules (start with letter, use PascalCase) and the eight primitive data types (byte, int, long, float, double, char, boolean) with memory sizes. Demonstrates static variables as class-level properties shared across all instances, with working code examples. Includes comparisons showing how static values persist and are accessed via the class name rather than object references.
- •Classes must follow naming conventions: start with letter or underscore, use PascalCase, cannot use reserved keywords
- •Eight primitive data types (byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean) store simple values with different memory sizes
- •Static variables belong to the class, shared across all instances, and allocated only once when the class loads
