Data Types

 A data type is a classification of data into groups according to


the kind of data they represent
 Computers use different data types to represent different
types of data in a program
 The basic data types include:
o Integer: used to represent whole numbers, either
positive or negative
 Examples: 10, -5, 0
o Real: used to represent numbers with a fractional part,
either positive or negative
 Examples: 3.14, -2.5, 0.0
o Char: used to represent a single character such as a
letter, digit or symbol
 Examples: 'a', 'B', '5', '$'
o String: used to represent a sequence of characters
 Examples: "Hello World", "1234", "@#$%
o Boolean: used to represent true or false values
 Examples: True, False

We can declare variables as follows:

Python Java Visual Basic

variable_name = data_type Dim variable_name As


Syntax
value variable_name; data_type
Example x=5 int x Dim x As Integer

Data types pseudocode


There are various different types of data, for example a number is not the
same a word! Even numbers come in different types, some have decimals
and some don't. Below are data types in Python and examples.

 Character: A single letter, number, punctuation mark etc


 Real/Float: A number with a decimal point
 Integer: A whole number (a number without a decimal point)
 Boolean: True or False
 String: Letters and numbers
