DATATYPE IN C
Data types in c used for declaring variables or functions
of different types.
The type of a variable determines how much space it
occupies in storage.
A data type specifies the type of data that a variable
can store.
There are 4 types of data types in C language.
Basic Data Types
The basic data types are integer-based and
floating-point based.
The memory size of basic data types may change
according to 32 or 64 bit operating system.
Type Storage size Value range
char 1 byte -128 to 127 or 0 to 255
int 2 bytes −32,768 to 32,767
float 4 byte 1.2E-38 to 3.4E+38
double 8 byte 2.3E-308 to 1.7E+308
Example….
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int a = 4000; // positive integer data type
float b = 5.2324; // float data type
char c = 'Z'; // char data type
int f = -185; // -ve integer data type
double i = 4.1234567890; // double float data type
float j = -3.55; // float data type
}
Program :
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Storage size for int is: %d \n", sizeof(int));
printf("Storage size for char is: %d \n", sizeof(char));
printf("Storage size for int is: %d \n", sizeof(float));
printf("Storage size for char is: %d \n", sizeof(double));
return 0;
}
OUTPUT
VARIABLES IN C
A variable is a name of memory location.
A variable is used to store data.
Its value can be changed and it can be reused
many times.
Rules for defining variables
A variable can have alphabets, digits and underscore.
(a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _)
A variable name can start with alphabet and
underscore only.
It can't start with digit.
No white space is allowed within variable name.
A variable name must not be any reserved word or
keyword e.g. int, float etc.
Syntax to declare a variable.
type variable_name;
Example of declaring variable.
➢ int a;
➢ float b;
➢ char c;
KEYWORDS IN C
A keyword is a reserved word.
You cannot use it as a variable name.
There are 32 reserved words (keywords) in C
language.
