Chapter 3 - Fundamental data types of Java. In this chapter we will: Discuss four important data types: integers, real numbers, strings, characters; describe the process of developing and debugging a Java program. | Chapter 3 Fundamental Data Types of Java Lecture Slides to Accompany An Introduction to Computer Science Using Java (2nd Edition) by .
