The types are defined as a set of values in C++.<\/p>\n

They can have different proposes in a program, and that is why they are classified in this order:<\/p>\n

\n
• Character types:<\/strong> They can represent a single character, such as ‘A’ or ‘$’. The most basic type is char, which is a one-byte character.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  \n
  • Numerical integer types<\/strong>: They can store a whole number value, such as 7 or 1024. They exist in a variety of sizes, and can either be signed or unsigned, depending on whether they support negative values or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
    • Floating-point types:<\/strong> They can represent real values, such as 3.14 or 0.01, with different levels of precision, depending on which of the three floating-point types is used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
      • Boolean type:<\/strong> The Boolean type, known in C++ as bool, can only represent one of two states, true or false.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

        Integral<\/td>\n	char<\/strong><\/td>\n	Type\u00a0char<\/strong>\u00a0is an integral type that usually contains members of the execution character set \u2014 in Microsoft C++, this is ASCII.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        <\/td>\n	<\/td>\n	The C++ compiler treats variables of type\u00a0char<\/strong>,\u00a0signed<\/strong>\u00a0char<\/strong>, and\u00a0unsigned<\/strong>\u00a0char<\/strong>\u00a0as having different types. Variables of type\u00a0char<\/strong>\u00a0are promoted to\u00a0int<\/strong>\u00a0as if they are type\u00a0signed<\/strong>\u00a0char<\/strong>by default, unless the \/J compilation option is used. In this case they are treated as typeunsigned<\/strong>\u00a0char<\/strong>\u00a0and are promoted to\u00a0int<\/strong>\u00a0without sign extension.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

        <\/td>\n	__int<\/strong>n<\/em><\/td>\n	Sized integer, where\u00a0n<\/em>\u00a0is the size, in bits, of the integer variable. The value of\u00a0n<\/em>\u00a0can be 8, 16, 32, or 64. (__int<\/strong>n<\/em>\u00a0is a Microsoft-specific keyword.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        <\/td>\n	long<\/strong><\/td>\n	Type\u00a0long<\/strong>\u00a0(or\u00a0long<\/strong>\u00a0int<\/strong>) is an integral type that is larger than or equal to the size of typeint<\/strong>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
