local variable in java programming (V6)

 

        1. Java Variable Types

Java variables are of three types:

• Local variables
• Instance variables
• Class/Static variables

        2. Java Local Variables

• Local variables are declared within methods, constructors, or blocks.
• Local variables are created when the method, constructor, or block is entered, and the variables are destroyed when it exits.
• Access modifiers cannot be used for local variables.
• Local variables can be used only within the method, constructor, or block in which they are declared.
• Local variables are implemented at the inner level.
• There is no default value for local variables, so they must be declared and initialized before being used for the first time.

public class LocalVariable {
	
		public static void main(String[] args) {
			
			int age = 25; // Local variable declared and initialized in main method
	        System.out.println("Age: " + age);
	
	        // Calling a method that uses its own local variables
	        calculateSquare(5);
	
	        // Using local variables in a loop
	        for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) { // 'i' is a local variable for this loop
	            System.out.println("Loop iteration: " + i);
			}
		}
		public static void calculateSquare(int number) {
	        int square = number * number; // Local variable to this method
	        System.out.println("Square of " + number + " is: " + square);
	    }	
	}
