|
| A type can be considered to be a restriction on the set of |
|||||||||
| values that a
variable is permitted to store. |
|||||||||
| A class can be used as a type. |
|||||||||
| String
name = "Washington"; |
|||||||||
| Cube myBlock = new Cube(10); |
|||||||||
| In Java, there
are four primitive types that are not classes: |
|||||||||
| int,
float, double, boolean. |
|||||||||
| These permit “lightweight” values to be used, which can be |
|||||||||
| stored and
manipulated more efficiently than can bona fide |
|||||||||
| objects. |
