Primitive types are the basic, simple data types that are inherent to Java.
Primitive types are lower case (int, double, char, and boolean). They are inherent to the Java language. They are the simplest data types, they only have a value.
Primitives are different from objects. Objects are more complex data types, they are usually made up of multiple primitives. For example String objects are made up of several char values put together.
An object is an instance of a class. Objects have both state and behavior, whereas primitives only have state (a single value).
