Question

What is wrong with the following declaration? How should it be fixed?

public static final int myNumber = 17.36;

Answer 1

We have used int datatype which is wrong in the given declaration.

The correct declaration is public static final double myNumber = 17.36;

Explanation:

In this declaration the value is stored in "myNumber" variable is 17.36 which is decimal point number to store the decimal point number we have to use the double datatype, not int datatype because int datatype can store only integer value not the decimal value. So we have to use the double datatype instead of int type.

The correct syntax for the following declaration is :

public static final double myNumber = 17.36;
