Primitive Data Types as Parameters

Answer:

A primitive data type is one of the eight fundamental methods used to represent data that is built into Java.

The eight primitive data types are:

byte

short

int

long

float

double

char

boolean

The word primitive means "a fundamental piece that is used to create other, larger parts." So far we have been using parameters with primitive data types. Here is a tiny program that reviews this:

class SimpleClass
{
  public void print( int x )
  {
    System.out.println("Value of the parameter: " + x );
  }
}

class SimpleTester
{
  public static void main ( String[] args )
  {
    int var = 7;
    SimpleClass simple = new SimpleClass();

    System.out.println("First  value of the local var: " + var );    
    simple.print( var );
    System.out.println("Second value of the local var: " + var );    
  }
}

QUESTION 3:

What is the output of the program?

First  value of the local var: 
Value of the parameter: 
Second value of the local var:
