But, What is a Data Type?
nWe’ve been working with
fundamental data types
this term, such as ints, floats, chars...
nWhenever we define
variables of these types,
ämemory is allocated to hold the data
äa set of operations can now be performed on that
data
ädifferent
data types have different sets of operations that make sense
(the mod operator doesn’t make sense for floats...)
