In this tutorial you will learn about the C++ Variable Types and its application with practical example.
C++ Variable Types
In C++, every variable we declare has specific type associated with it, type of a variable allows us to determines the size of memory space required to store value, the range of values it can hold; and the set of operations that can be performed on it. Variables can also be categorized based on their data type.
In C++, we can have following basic types of variable –
int :- These type of variables are used to store whole numbers.
char :- These type of variables are used to store single character.
bool :- These type of variables are used to store the truth values, which can be either True or False.
double :- These type of variables are used to store numbers that contain a decimal component (Double-precision).
float :- These type of variables are used to store numbers that contain a decimal component (Single-precision)
