Basic Data Types

There are 3 basic data types:

  • Integer values are numeric values with no fractional part in them. For example: 5,-10,0 are integer values. All integer values in your program must be in the range -2147483648 to +2147483647.
  • Floating point values are numeric values that include a fractional part. For example: .5, -10.1, 0.0 are all floating point values.
  • Strings values are used to contain text. For example: "Hello", "What's up?", "***** GAME OVER *****", "".

Typically, integer values are faster than floating point values, which are themselves faster than strings.
