Chapter 9, Problem 67E

Explanation of Solution

Data type:

• A set of data or variables with the values are referred to as data type.
• It determines the possible values or contents for that data type.
• It is used to perform the operations on the values of that data type.

Some of the data types used in a programming language are given below:

Integer type:

Integer data type is a data type which represents the integer range from  -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 values.

Example:

  int x = 8;

Here, “x” is the integer variable and the value “8” is assigned to that variable.

Real type:

The range of real numbers from -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+38 values are represented by the real data type. Mostly, the computers use a rational approximation to a real number...
