What does the token ‘keyword’ refer to in the context of Java? Give an example for keyword.
(2011)

What are keywords? Give an example(2016)
Ans
Keywords are the words that convey a special meaning to the language Compiler. These are
reserved for special purpose and must not be used as normal identifiers

Give one example each of a primitive data type and a composite data type. (2012)
Ans.
 Primitive Data Types – byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean
Composite Data Type – Class, Array, Interface

Ans
no Primitive data types Composite data types
1. fundamental data types. Constructed using primitive data types
2. Size is fixed Size depends on the member variables/instance
Variables
3. Primitive data type is passed by Composite data type is passed by reference
value

Name the primitive data type in Java that is: (2014)
(i) a 64-bit integer and is used when you need a range of values wider than those
provided by int.
(ii) a single 16-bit Unicode character whose default value is '\u0000’.

What is a literal? (2013)
Ans.
A literal is a constant data item. There are different literals like integer literals, floating point
literals and character literals.
State the difference between a boolean literal and a character literal. (2009)
Ans.
i) A boolean literal can store one of two values – true and false. A character literal can store a
single Unicode character.

What do you understand by type conversion? (2010)
Ans.
Type conversion or casting is the conversion of the data type of a literal from one type to
another. There are two types of types of casting – implicit casting and explicit casting.
