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...

composite data type or compound data type is a data type that consists of programming language scalar data types and other composite types that may be...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...
