Data Types in C

Data Types in C:

Types
Data Types
Basic Data Type
int, char, float, double
Derived Data Type
array, pointer, structure, union
Enumeration Data Type
Enum
Void Data Type
Void

A data type specifies the type of data that a variable can store such as integer, floating, character etc. There are 4 types of data types in C language.

1.7.1. Basic Data Types:


            The basic data types are integer-based and floating-point based. These are also called as scalar data types. C language supports both signed and unsigned literals. The memory size of basic data types may change according to 32 or 64 bit operating system. Let's see the basic data types. It size is given according to 32 bit OS.
