What Is Data Types in C Language

The document discusses different data types in the C programming language including primitive types like int, char, float, and double that are used to store integer, character, floating point, and double precision numeric values respectively. It also covers derived types like arrays and strings, user-defined types like structures and unions, and the void type which represents no value. Examples are provided to illustrate how to declare variables and print output using each of the primitive data types.

What is Data Types in C Language ?
• Datatype specific the size & type Of values that can be
stored in an variable .
Ex- int a=10;
Ex- float a=10.1544;

Primitive Data Type
(1) int - As its name suggests, an int variable is used to store a whole number. It
stores zero, positive and negative values without decimal. Its size (bytes) is at
least 2 bytes and it’s format specifier %d, %i .

Ex. - Program CODE Output / Result

#include <stdio.h>
The integer value is: 20
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
int i = 20;
printf(“The integer value is: %d ”, i);
getch();
}
Primitive Data Type
(2) char - It is the most basic data type in C. It stores a single character and requires
one byte of memory in almost all compilers. and it’s format specifier %c .

Ex. - Program CODE Output / Result

#include <stdio.h> The character value is : govt. collage Bhaisma
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
char gtr;
gtr = govt. collage Bhaisma;
printf(“The character value is: %c ”, gtr);
getch();
}
Primitive Data Type

(3) float - It is used to store decimal numbers (numbers with floating point value)
with single precision . Its size is at least 4 bytes and it’s format specifier %f .

Ex. - Program CODE Output / Result

#include <stdio.h> The float value is : 3.124100
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
float ab = 3.1241;
printf(“The float value is: %f ”, ab);
getch();
}
Primitive Data Type

(4) double - It is used to store decimal numbers (numbers with floating point value)
with double precision. Its size is at least 8 bytes and it’s format specifier %lf .

Ex. - Program CODE Output / Result

#include <stdio.h> The double value is : 51.598000
#include <conio.h>
void main()
{
double cd = 51.598;
printf(“The double value is: %lf ”, cd);
getch();
}
Primitive Data Type

(5) void - The void data type in C is used to specify that no value is present. It does
not provide a result value to its caller. It has no values and no operations. It is
used to represent nothing.
