C++ Data Types

Data Types
The kind of data that the used variables can hold in a programming language is known as the data type.
Basic data types are as follows:
1. Numeric Data Type
2. Non-Numeric Data Type
3. Integer Data Type
4. Real Data Type
5. Logical Data Type
6. Enumerated Data Type
1)Numeric Data Type: Totally deals with the numbers. These numbers can be of integer (int) data type or real (float) data type
2)Non-Numeric Data Type : Totally deals with characters. Any character or group of characters enclosed within quotes will be considered as non-numeric or character data type.
3) Integer Data Type : Deals with integers or whole numbers. All arithmetic operations can be achieved through this data type and the results are again integers.
4) Real Data Type : deals with real numbers or the numeric data, which includes fractions. All arithmetic operations can be achieved through this data type and the results can be real data type.
 5) Logical or Boolean Data Type : can hold only either of the two values TRUE or FALSE at a time. In computer, a 1 (one) is stored for TRUE and a 0 (zero) is stored for FALSE.
6) Enumerated Data Type : Includes the unstructured data grouped together to lead to a new type. This data type is not standard and us usually defined by user.
Example.
Week_days = { oesun•, oemon•, oetue•, oewed•, oethu•, oefri•, oesat• };
Directions = {•North•, oeEast•, oeWest•, oeSouth• };
