In C programming, variables are stored in different data types based on the kind of

data they hold. Here’s a list of commonly used data types in C:

1. Basic Data Types


int: Used for integers (whole numbers).
Example: int age = 25;
float: Used for single-precision floating-point numbers (decimal numbers with up to
7 digits of precision).
Example: float price = 19.99;
double: Used for double-precision floating-point numbers (more precise than float
with up to 15-16 digits of precision).
Example: double pi = 3.1415926535;
char: Used for single characters (stores a single character in 1 byte).
Example: char grade = 'A';

2. Modified Data Types


short int (short): A shorter version of int (less memory).
Example: short int smallNumber = 32767;
long int (long): A longer version of int (more memory for larger integers).
Example: long int largeNumber = 100000L;
long long int (long long): Even larger integer type, providing the highest capacity
for integers.
Example: long long int veryLargeNumber = 9223372036854775807LL;
unsigned variants: Use unsigned with int, char, long, etc., to store only non-
negative values (doubles the positive range).
Example: unsigned int uAge = 30;
3. Derived Data Types
array: A collection of elements of the same data type.
Example: int numbers[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
pointer: A variable that stores the memory address of another variable.
Example: int *ptr = &age;
structure (struct): Used to group different data types together.
