a basic type is a data type provided by a programming language as a basic building block.Most languages allow more complicated composite types to be recursively constructed starting from basic types
a built-in type is a data type for which the programming language provides built-in support.
Such types serve only one purpose — containing pure, simple values of a kind.
String is not a primitive data type
In the Java programming language, non-primitive data types are simply called "objects" because they are created, rather than predefined.
In Java, there are 8: boolean , byte , char , short , int , long , float and double .
