Standard Data Types
Built-in data types
Integer types
Types that store integer values, whose range is determined by the size of the data type and its signedness.
Floating-point types
Types that store real number values, whose range and precision is determined by the size of the data type.
Boolean types
Types that store boolean values.
Procedure Types
Types that store pointers to procedures
Data Type Modifiers
Specifies additional characteristics of a standard or user-defined data type.
String types
Types that store or point to an array of characters.
Class types
Types that provide special capabilities to be used directly or to be extended by user-defined types
