XP was developed by Beck, Cunningham, and Jeffries and is a “lightweight discipline of software development based on principles of simplicity, communication, feedback, and courage”[5]. It is a type of agile software development method, which is focused on software quality, accept changing requirement and frequent release. It is done in small to medium size teams[4]. XP is a collection of ideas and practices drawn from already existing methodologies [4]. On traditional methodology, scope, time and cost are fixed but quality is variable, where is in XP project Scope is variable but time, cost and quality is fixed[3]. This approach allows any changes of requirement keeping the time cost and quality fixed.

XP consists of these phases: Exploration, Planning, Iterations to Release, Productionizing, Maintenance and Death[1].

This article will try to explain the basic idea about memory used by Primitive data type and some data structure in Java implementation.

Primitive data types

• boolean 1 byte
• byte 1 byte
• char 2 bytes
• int 4 bytes
• float 4 bytes
• long 8 bytes
• double 8 bytes

• overhead 16 bytes // overhead includes a reference to the object’s class, garbage collection information and synchronization information
• padding 4 bytes // memory uses padded on a 64-bit machine
• reference 8 bytes // reference to different object or data type

Object : Memory used by an object is equal to the memory used by each instance + overhead (16 bytes) + padding (4 bytes). For example

private class ageGender
{
int age=0;
char gender = ''; //"m" for male and "f" for female
}

xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
}
