Default Value of Data Types in Java

Data Type	Default Value (for fields)
byte	0
short	0
int	0
long	0L
float	0.0f
double	0.0d
char	‘u0000’
String (or any object)	null
boolean	false

Live Example : Default value of Data Type

Sample Program that will illustrate Default Value Stored in Each Primitive Data Type Variable

public class DefaultValue {
  static boolean bool;
  static byte by;
  static char ch;
  static double d;
  static float f;
  static int i;
  static long l;
  static short sh;
  static String str;

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Bool :" + bool);
    System.out.println("Byte :" + by);
    System.out.println("Character:" + ch);
    System.out.println("Double :" + d);
    System.out.println("Float :" + f);
    System.out.println("Integer :" + i);
    System.out.println("Long :" + l);
    System.out.println("Short :" + sh);
    System.out.println("String :" + str);
  }
}

Output :

Bool     :false
Byte     :0
Character:
Double   :0.0
Float    :0.0
Integer  :0
Long     :0
Short    :0
String   :null
