Study Notes

Data Types in C++

Data types specify the size and type of values to be stored.
Data types are used to tell variables the type of data they can store.
The compiler allocates memory for variables based on their data type.

Primary/Built-in/Fundamental Data Types

Integer (int): Used for whole numbers.
- Requires 4 bytes of memory.
- Range: -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
Floating Point (float): Used for single-precision decimal values.
- Requires 4 bytes of memory.
- Example: float area = 64.74;
Double Floating Point (double): Used for double-precision decimal values (more precise than float).
- Requires 8 bytes of memory.
- Example: double volume = 134.64534;
Character (char): Used for storing single characters.
- Requires 1 byte of memory.
- Range: -128 to 127 or 0 to 255.
- Example: char test = 'h';
Boolean (bool): Used for storing logical values (true or false).
- Example: bool cond = false;
Void (void): Represents a valueless entity.
- Used for functions that don't return a value.
- You can't declare variables of type void.
Wide Character (wchar_t): Used for storing characters that require more than 8 bits.
- Typically 2 or 4 bytes long.
- Example: wchar_t i = L'b';

C++ Data Types

Data types in C++ specify the size and type of values stored in variables.
They tell the compiler how much memory to allocate for variables.
Different data types require different amounts of memory.

Primary or Built-in Data Types

Integer (int): Used for whole numbers. Requires 4 bytes of memory and ranges from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Example: int salary = 85000;
Floating Point (float): Used for single-precision decimal values. Requires 4 bytes of memory. Example: float area = 64.74;
Double Floating Point (double): Used for double-precision decimal values (higher precision than float). Requires 8 bytes of memory. Example: double volume = 134.64534;
Character (char): Used for storing single characters. Requires 1 byte of memory and can represent ASCII characters (range: -128 to 127 or 0 to 255). Example: char test = 'h';
Boolean (bool): Used for storing logical values (true or false). Example: bool cond = false;
Void (void): Represents a valueless entity. Used for functions that do not return a value. Note: You cannot declare variables of type void.
Wide Character (wchar_t): Used for storing characters that require more than 8 bits of memory. Typically 2 or 4 bytes long. Example: wchar_t i = L'b';
