首先说byte:
这段是摘自jdk中 Byte.java中的源代码:
1 /**
2 * A constant holding the minimum value a byte
can3 * have, -27.4 */
5 public static final byte MIN_VALUE = -128;6
7 /**
8 * A constant holding the maximum value a byte
can9 * have, 27-1.10 */
11 public static final byte MAX_VALUE = 127;
从这里可以看出 byte的取值范围:-128 --- 127;
从计算机组成原理的角度可以解释:byte在计算机中是占8个字节的 而且byte 是有符号整形 用二进制表示时候最高位为符号位 0代表正数 1代表负数。
最大值:127 0111 1111 即2的7次方减去1;
最小值:-128 这个数字曾经困扰我很久, 要知道正数在计算机中是以原码形式存在的,负数在计算机中是以其补码形式存在的,那么一个负数的补码是怎么计算的呢? 就是负数的绝对值的原码转为二进制再按位取反后加1,
下边这个10和-10为例来介绍的 :10原码:0000 1010 它在计算机中的存储就是 0000 1010, 那么-10呢? 按照前面说的 算除其绝对值为10,转为二进制 0000 1010 按位取反 1111 0101 再加1后:1111 0110,此为-10补码 ,好的,计算机中的1111 0110就是代表-10了。
我们来看 -128 绝对值128的二进制表示:1000 0000 按位取反 0111 1111 加1后:1000 0000,也就是说 -128在计算机中的表示就是 1000 0000 了, 再来看一下-129 在计算机中的表示,绝对值129的范围已经超出了了byte的位数。
再有还可以通过
1 System.out.println(Byte.MAX_VALUE); //最大值
2 System.out.println(Byte.MIN_VALUE); //最小值
输出Byte的最大值和最小值。
综上所述 byte的取值范围只能是:-128 -- 127了 即 负的2的7次方到2的7次方减去1。
相应的 short 作为16位有符号整形,int作为32位有符号整形, long 作为64位有符号整形 都可以如上计算出 取值范围
Short:
Unicode Character Representations
The char data type (and therefore the value that a Character object encapsulates) are based on the original Unicode specification, which defined characters as fixed-width 16-bit entities. The Unicode Standard has since been changed to allow for characters whose representation requires more than 16 bits. The range of legal code points is now U+0000 to U+10FFFF, known as Unicode scalar value.
Character.java中的源代码:

* char

public static final char MIN_VALUE = '/u0000';/*** The constant value of this field is the largest value of type

public static final char MAX_VALUE = '/uffff';

float作为32位的浮点型:

double 作为64为浮点型
