data type

As it suggests, a data type is a type of data. A data type is a somewhat of a storage format which consists of specific types or range of values. It is the classification/grouping of similar and different types of information. This is done in order to make it easer to distinguish different types of data. Internal codes are used to keep track of that data that are being processed.

Common types of data include:
• integers
• floating point numbers
• characters
• strings
• arrays
