More Data Types

Abstract

In our discussion 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.
