Basic understanding[edit]
Primitive data types[edit]
In computer science and computer programming, a data type or simply type is a classification of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data. Most programming languages support various types of data, for example: real, integer or Boolean.[2]
The list below describes some of the more common primitive data types
