These data types have very limited functionalities and cannot be assigned with null value. Java uses wrapper classes to wrap each primitive data type in an object, for example java .lang.Integer is the wrapper class for int and  … Continue Reading….

Integer, character and double are different types of variables which can be declared and initialized in memory. int i; i = 20; char ch;  ch = ‘A’; We know that pointers are also variables … Continue Reading….

Changing the behavior of one type of variable to another type is known as type casting. Have a look on following example double a = 10.5, b = 20.3; int … Continue Reading….

Pointer arithmetic

In pointers there are two arithmetic operations which can be performed. One is addition and second is subtraction. When you add some numbers in pointer it means that you are moving forward in memory and when you subtract some numbers then it means you are traversing back from that address where pointer is pointer at … Continue Reading….
