2,101 PointsNot to worry , it seems you are just noobie, In java there is style just like names in Game of Thrones ,people uses their name . Tywin lannister - person from lannister house, => attributes could be bastard, dishonest, backstabber, whore licker. Int x - person from number family => attributes could be all [-inf,+inf] , plus or minus but not decimal. "int" is a primitive type. Variables of type int store the actual binary value for the integer . Its ranges from -32768 to + 32767 , if you say int x= 32769 it will throw error because its 8 bit data type.

1,880 PointsIt basically means integer. You are declaring that the variable type is an integer. Just like previously in the course, you declare a string.
Some other primitive types are: char: a single letter (For example, char letter = 'C') boolean: true or false statements double: decimal numbers float: numbers as well

8,657 Points"int" is a primitive type. Variables of type int store the actual binary value for the integer you want to represent. In this video int is representing the numeric value of the age limit that you must be in order to use this program.
