Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

variable

A named storage place that holds one value of a fixed type.

A variable is a named storage location with a declared type; assignment replaces its value, and Java checks every assignment against that type at compile time.

Examples

  • int count = 0; declares a variable named count of type int and stores 0 in it.
