C Programming/Data Types
Data types in c refer to an extensive system used for declaring variables or functions of different types. The type of a variable determines how much space it occupies in storage and how the bit pattern stored is interpreted.
Types | Description |
---|---|
Basic Types | They are arithmetic types and are further classified into: (a) integer types and (b) floating-point types. |
Enumerated types | They are again arithmetic types and they are used to define variables that can only assign certain discrete integer values throughout the program. |
The type void | The type specifier void indicates that no value is available. |
Derived types | They include (a) Pointer types, (b) Array types, (c) Structure types, (d) Union types and (e) Function types. |
