Data Types in C++

Data Type:

Data type mean different types or form of data.

Example:

Integer, Float, Character, String etc are different data types. Their short form is used in programming to initialize any data member.

Data Type                                                  Representation in C++

Integer                                                               int

Float                                                                  float

Character                                                          char

String                                                                string

Explanation:

In programming, we need to manage our program or code with the help of different variables. These variable are initialized by giving it a name and defining its data type. For example, If we want to initialize a variable and we want this variable to do some numerical work, we can initialize it with using int.

It would be like:

   int my_variable;
