Integer Data Types in Java and Kotlin (Byte, Short, Int, Long) with Examples

Table of Contents Introduction Java vs Kotlin Differences Interview Questions Conclusion Introduction Integer data types are used to store whole numbers without decimal values . Both Java and Kotlin provide four integer data types based on memory size and value range . Integer Data Types Overview Type Java Kotlin Size Range Byte byte Byte 8 bits -128 to 127 Short short Short 16 bits -32,768 to 32,767 Int int Int 32 bits -2³¹ to 2³¹ - 1 Long long Long 64 bits -2⁶³ to 2⁶³ - 1 1. Byte Data Type The Byte data type is the smallest integer type. It is mainly used to save memory in large arrays or streams. Memory Size: 8 bits Minimum Value: -128 Maximum Value: 127 Kotlin Example val minByte: Byte = -128 val maxByte: Byte = 127 println(minByte) println(maxByte) Java Example byte minByte = -128; byte maxByte = 127; System.out.println(minByte); System.out.println(maxByte); 2.

Floating Point Data Types in Java and Kotlin (Float vs Double) Explained

Table of Contents Introduction Float Data Type Double Data Type Java vs Kotlin Differences Interview Questions Conclusion Introduction Floating-point data types are used to store numbers with decimal values . Java and Kotlin provide two floating-point types based on precision and memory size . Floating-Point Data Types Overview Type Java Kotlin Size Precision Float float Float 32 bits 6–7 decimal digits Double double Double 64 bits 15–16 decimal digits 1. Float Data Type The Float data type stores decimal numbers using single-precision . It consumes less memory but provides lower accuracy compared to Double. Memory Size: 32 bits Precision: 6–7 decimal digits Suffix Required: F Kotlin Example val pi: Float = 3.14F println(pi) Java Example float pi = 3.14f; System.out.println(pi); 2. Double Data Type The Double data type stores decimal numbers using double-precision . It is the default floating-po...
