Data type:

               The data type is a principal on which the data in store in the memory. There are different data types to store different type of value. Every data type takes a specific memory in the computer memory.

These following data types are the basic data types in the C++.

àInteger data type

àFloating data type

àCharacter data type

Let’s discuss them briefly.

Integer data type:

1.      This type of data is used to store integer type value such as (o to 9).

2.      In the C++ language integer data type is show by an identifier “int”.

3.      It takes 4 byte in the computer memory.

Floating Data type:

1.      This type of data is used to store the value of decimal integer such as (2.00, 0.00002 etc.)

2.      In the C++ language floating data type is show by an identifier “float”.

3.      It takes also take four bytes in the computer’s memory.

Character data types:

1.      This type of data is used to store the character, such as (A,a,e etc.)

2.      In the C++ language character data type is show by an identifier “char”.

3.      It takes one byte in the computer memory.
