How to use basic Data types in c language




BASIC DATA TYPES IN C LANGUAGE

ANSI C provides three types of data types

A data-type in C programming is a set of values and is determined to act on those values. C provides various types of data-types which allow the programmer to select the appropriate type for the variable to set its value.
The data-type in a programming language is the collection of data with values having fixed meaning as well as characteristics. Some of them are an integer, floating point, character, etc. Usually, programming languages specify the range values for given data-type.
C Data Types are used to:
  • Identify the type of a variable when it declared.
  • Identify the type of the return value of a function.
  • Identify the type of a parameter expected by a function.
Three more data types have been added in C99:
  • _Bool
  • _Complex
  • _Imaginary

Data Types and Variable Declarations 

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int a = 4000; // positive integer data type float b = 5.2324; // float data type char c = 'Z'; // char data type long d = 41657; // long positive integer data type long e = -21556; // long -ve integer data type int f = -185; // -ve integer data type short g = 130; // short +ve integer data type short h = -130; // short -ve integer data type double i = 4.1234567890; // double float data type float j = -3.55; // float data type }

The History of c programming language | Everything you need to know

Email: encodetraining@gmail.com C  was developed and implemented on the UNIX operating system on the DEC  PDP-11, by Dennis M. Ritchie. C  is very often referred as a “System Programming Language” because it is used for writing  compilers, editors and even operating systems. C  was evolved during 1971-73 from B language of Ken Thompson, which was evolved (in 1969-70) from BCPL language of Martin Richards. BCPL is the language in which the original hello world program was written. ALGOL developed by committee of European and American computer scientists in 1958 IBM developed Assembly language in 1956-63 Initially IBM  manufactured machinery for sale and lease, ranging from commercial scales and industrial time recorders, meat and cheese slicers, to tabulators and punched cards. C was developed and implemented on the UNIX operating system on the DEC  PDP-11, by Dennis M. Ritchie. C is very often ...

Technical Aspects of Fundamental Data types in C

Technical Aspects    Fundamental Data types in C             Why do we need data types like integers, char, double, etc. in programming ? In computer science and computer programming, a data type or simply type is an attribute of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data. Most programming languages support basic data types of integer numbers (of varying sizes), Floating-point numbers (which approximate real numbers), characters and Booleans. A data type constrains the values that an expression, such as a variable or a function , might take. This data type defines the operations that can be done on the data, the meaning of the data, and the way values of that type can be stored. A data type provides a set of values from which an expression (i.e. variable, function, etc.) may take its values. Data types are used within type systems, which offer various ways of defining, implementing an...
