Java Primitive Types to Calculate Expenses
In this project you will create an application that calculates a monthly expense estimation using a calculated monthly house payment and grocery bills using Java.
Java is an Object-Oriented language that contains many Classes but also contains what are called Primitive Data Types. These primitive data types are used to store numbers and characters in Java and have all the Arithmetic operations needed to perform various calculations. To get started with Java, it is important to know how to use these built in data types as they are found throughout the language. The primitive data types take up much less space than objects do and can make a program much more efficient when used properly.
