Study Notes
Data Types
Integer
- A whole number, either positive, negative, or zero
- Examples: 1, -5, 0
- Can be used for counting, indexing, and performing arithmetic operations
- Typically stored as 32-bit or 64-bit signed integers
Float
- A number with a fractional part, can be positive, negative, or zero
- Examples: 3.14, -0.5, 0.0
- Used for decimal numbers, scientific notation, and very large/small numbers
- Typically stored as 32-bit or 64-bit floating-point numbers
String
- A sequence of characters, can be letters, digits, or special characters
- Examples: "hello", 'hello', "123"
- Used for text, labels, and descriptions
- Can be enclosed in single quotes or double quotes
Boolean
- A true or false value
- Examples: true, false
- Used for conditional statements, flags, and logical operations
Character
- A single character, can be a letter, digit, or special character
- Examples: 'a', '1', '+'
- Used for single characters, parsing text, and validation
- Can be enclosed in single quotes
Data Types

- Examples of strings: "hello", 'hello', "123"
- Can be enclosed in single quotes or double quotes
Logical Data
- Booleans: True or false values, used for conditional statements, flags, and logical operations.
- Examples of booleans: true, false
Single Characters
- Characters: Single characters, can be a letter, digit, or special character, used for single characters, parsing text, and validation.
- Examples of characters: 'a', '1', '+'
- Can be enclosed in single quotes
