A data type that is part of the JScript language and manipulated by value. The data types in JScript considered to be primitive are number, Boolean, string, and function. Objects and arrays are not primitive data types.

a variable into which you can save an information of one of eight pre-defined types directly, whereas an object is held in a variable which is a reference to (a pointer or a memory address under the hood) of a piece or a number of pieces of information

(n or adj.) A term used primarily to describe the fundamental geometric forms used for building 3-D CAD models. Primitives are typically defined parametrically or with single-sweep operations. Primitives are used as tool solids in Boolean operations.

Non- Object datatypes in Java like int? or float.

A primitive data type is any data type that is not composed of one or more other data types. In Java, there are 8 primitive data types, such as int, boolean, char, float, etc. You can look at The Data Types Tutorial for more information.

A Java primitive is a simple type that evaluates to the single value stored in that variable (as opposed to a reference type, whose value is its memory address). Primitives cannot have methods or hold any other data than their single value. You cannot cast a primitive type to an object reference, or vice versa.
