Are the base 10 ranges of primitive types supposed to be memorized? I could calc the decimal notation from the hex and oct, but is such a thing needed? Memorizing the decimal notation of max float and max double is a bit maddening.

Hi Luke,
Try to remember the decimal representations of char,int,byte,short
I think that will help you from SCJP point of view:-)
Hope that helps...

Hello Luke,
SCJP2 Exam Objective clearly state Under Language Fundamentals
"State the range of all primitive data types, and declare literal values for String and all primitive types using all permitted formats, bases and representations."
And range of Interger Primitive type should be on your tips.

Regards
Raj.
