Abstract
So far, all data types of identifiers have been simple: they consist of one elementary type. The elementary types are
(char) | characters |
(int) | integers |
(float) | floating point |
Chars and ints can be either signed or unsigned, and ints and floats can have modifiers short or long. A ‘long float’ is referred to as a ‘double’. Unless otherwise explicitly stated in a declaration, the default type is int.
