variables. Data types also determine the types of operations or methods of processing of data elements. The C language provides basic arithmetic types, such...

derived data types are specified, and partly defined, in terms of other data types. All basic types are atomic. For example, integers are a basic type defined...

(built-in types). Data types which are not primitive are referred to as derived or composite. Primitive types are almost always value types, but composite...

abstract data type (ADT) is a mathematical model for data types, defined by its behavior (semantics) from the point of view of a user of the data, specifically...

composite data type or compound data type is any data type which can be constructed in a program using the programming language's primitive data types and other...

three kinds of data types (chapter 4.1.1 of SQL/Foundation): predefined data types constructed types user-defined types. Constructed types are one of ARRAY...

programming and type theory, an algebraic data type (ADT) is a kind of composite type, i.e., a type formed by combining other types. Two common classes...

or !=0 for arithmetic types, and null or !=null for pointers or references. Objective-C also has a separate Boolean data type BOOL, with possible values...

called transparent. Opaque data types are frequently used to implement abstract data types. Typical examples of opaque data types include handles for resources...

array types may overlap (or be identified with) other data types that describe aggregates of values, such as lists and strings. Array types are often...

USB-C, or USB Type-C, is a 24-pin connector (not a protocol) that supersedes previous USB connectors and can carry audio, video and other data, e.g., to...

databases Redis, Riak and Cosmos DB have CRDT data types. Concurrent updates to multiple replicas of the same data, without coordination between the computers...

variable that may hold such a data structure. Some programming languages support special data types, called union types, to describe such values and variables...

data type for values that may contain other values of the same type. Data of recursive types are usually viewed as directed graphs[citation needed]. An important...

structure about data. Data structures serve as the basis for abstract data types (ADT). The ADT defines the logical form of the data type. The data structure...

C-type may refer to: Type C (disambiguation), q.v. C data types This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the title C-type. If an internal...

integer is a datum of integral data type, a data type that represents some range of mathematical integers. Integral data types may be of different sizes and...

instruction set architecture of most central processing units. Integral data types store numbers in the set of integers, while real and complex numbers represent...

another data type. In general, both primitive and compound data types can be converted. Each programming language has its own rules on how types can be...

A struct in the C programming language (and many derivatives) is a composite data type (or record) declaration that defines a physically grouped list of...

In computer science, a stack is an abstract data type that serves as a collection of elements with two main operations: Push, which adds an element to...
