Is Java case sensitive? Does Class names can all be lowercase?
What standard of casing used in Java?
- Variables and methods use lower camel casing.
int dog;
int myDog;
void run(){ }
void sitThere() { }- Package names are conventionally in all lowercase.
package com.src.javapractice package org.apache.maven.reactor

What are some valid identifiers in Java?
How is JavaDoc comments used?
- Javadoc is a tool that creates documentation for the classes that are implemented in applications.
- Example:
/**
* This is a Javadoc comment example
* @author Keerthi Dadige
*/
public class Car {
//Initialization block
{
color = "Red";
}
//static initialization block
static {
//color = "Yellow"; // Illegal as non-static variable
//printDescription(); // Illegal as non-static method
setCarCount(3);
}
String color;
String type;
int serialNumber;
//Static Variable declaration
static int carCount;
// Constructors
// User defined default constructor
// Compiler will not create a default constructor in this case
Car() {
carCount++; // Static variable increment
serialNumber = carCount;
color = "Blue";
} /**
* User defined Car constructor
* @param color
* @param type
*/
Car(String color, String type){
this();
this.color = color;
this.type = type;
}What are the different types of Primitive data types in Java?
// Example below are 8 primitive data types in Java
public class PrimitiveDataTypes {
byte b;
short s;
int i;
long l;
char ch;
float f;
double d;
boolean bool;
}

What is Casting in Java?
- There are two types of conversions in java:
- Narrowing conversion
- Widening conversion
/**
* Casting
*/
int x2 = 200;
// Narrowing conversion. As byte is smaller size than int
// it cannot handle size greater than its primitive size.
// Below is an example of casting with int to (byte) type
byte b2 = (byte) x2;
System.out.println("byte value: " + b2);// Prints invalid value
int xInt = 200;
// Widening conversion from smaller primitive to Larger.
long xLong = xInt; // works without any need of explicit Casting
System.out.println("Long value: " + xLong);What are the BigInteger and BigDecimal classes in Java? Explain
- There may be cases where we need to work with an Integer or decimal number that is larger or smaller than it can be handled using primitives long or double.
- Java provides BigInteger and BigDecimal classes to handle cases as above.
- Please refer below notes for more details:
