G9 - Block 2 - Week 1 - WS2 - Data Types

This document discusses data types in Visual Basic. It outlines three major data types - character, numeric, and miscellaneous. Character data types include strings and characters. Numeric types are broken into integer types like byte, short, and long, and non-integer or decimal types like double and single. Miscellaneous types don't fall into the other categories, and include objects, dates, and booleans. A table shows the available data types in Visual Basic with their memory size and value ranges.

Visual Basic Data Types


There are many types of data that we come across in our daily life. For example,
we need to handle data such as names, addresses, money, date, stock quotes,
statistics and more every day.
Similarly, in Visual Basic
Visual Basic classifies the information mentioned above into 3 major data types,
they are the character data types, the numeric data types and the non-numeric
data types.

[1] Character Data Types: (declared by: String – Char).


[2] Numeric Data Types:
▪ Integer Numeric Types (declared by: Byte- Short – Integer -
Long).
▪ Non-Integer Numeric Types (decimal) (declared by: Double-
Single – Decimal).
[3] Miscellaneous Data Types: are those data that do not fall under
the Numeric or the character types (such as: Object – Date –
Boolean).
