Data Type :-

                       Data type or in the simple form type is a type of classification or a group that contains and identifies one or more kinds of data.

                                 

                                  


 And it's examples are boolean, integer, real etc.. And it determines all the possible values of that type (which it contains). And data type is further split into two parts :

1.  Primitive Built in type.
2.  Reference type.

But here we will just discuss first type (Primitive built in type) because these are used in very vast range in C++ programming language.

Primitive built in type :-

                                        This is a type of data type for which the programming language provides built_in support. Means these are present in the built_in memory of the programming language. And they are further split into seven categories. And all these are shown in the following table :
