Variables in Minitab
In Java, variables are explicitly declared and used by the compiler to check type-correctness of method calls.
When you run this program, you’ll see:
In Java:
- We use
String
, int
, boolean
, etc., to declare variables with specific types. - The
var
keyword (introduced in Java 10) can be used for local variable type inference, which is similar to Go’s type inference. - Java doesn’t have a direct equivalent to Go’s
:=
syntax. We either declare the type explicitly or use var
for type inference. - Variables in Java are also zero-valued when declared without initialization, similar to Go.
- Java uses
System.out.println()
for console output, which is analogous to Go’s fmt.Println()
.
Remember that in Java, all code must be inside a class, and the entry point of the program is the main
method in a public class.
