Java Variables and Data Types

   Variables in Java

Variables are the containers to store the data values in the memory. Variables are naming entities and must follow naming conventions. These rules typically include starting with a letter or underscore, using letters, numbers, or underscores (no spaces or special characters), avoiding reserved keywords, and using naming conventions such as CamelCase or snake_case for readability. These conventions help keep the code organized and understandable.
        

            Syntax:

                            data_type    variable_name;
                            data_type    variable_name    =    value;

        Examples:

                            int myAge = 21;
                            String myName = "Zack";

Data Types in Java

When declaring a variable, it's essential to specify the type of data it will store, such as numbers or words. These specifications are known as data types. 

There are two data types: 

  1. Primitive Data Types:   byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean and char
  2. Non-primitive Data Types:  String, Arrays, and Classes

Understanding Methods in Java

  What is a Method? In Java, a method is a block of code that performs a specific task. Methods are used to define the behavior of objects created from a class. They encapsulate code that can be reused and invoked whenever needed, making programs more modular and manageable. Defining a Method A method consists of a method declaration and a method body. The method declaration provides the method's name, return type, and parameters, while the method body contains the code to be executed. Syntax: returnType methodName (parameters) { // method body } Example: public class Example { // Method to add two numbers public int add ( int a, int b) { return a + b; } public static void main (String[] args) { Example example = new Example (); int sum = example.add( 5 , 3 ); System.out.println( "Sum: " + sum); // Output: Sum: 8 } } Method Components Access Modifiers: Define the visibility of the method (e....

Configuring Static NAT for Any Network Scenario

Introduction Network Address Translation (NAT) is a fundamental technique used in networking to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses and vice versa. Static NAT is a method where a specific private IP address is mapped to a specific public IP address.  Configuration Steps Router Configuration Enable NAT Service Router(config)# ip nat inside source static [inside-local] [inside-global] Replace [inside-local] with the private IP address to be translated. Replace [inside-global] with the public IP address to translate to. Configure Interfaces Router(config)# interface [inside-interface] Router(config-if)# ip address [inside-ip-address] [subnet-mask] Router(config-if)# ip nat inside Router(config-if)# no shutdown Router(config-if)# exit Router(config)# interface [outside-interface] Router(config-if)# ip address [outside-ip-address] [subnet-mask] Router(config-if)# ip nat outside Router(config-if)# no shutdown Router(config-if)# exit Replace [inside-interf...
