In computer science, primitive data types are a set of basic data types from which all other data types are constructed. Specifically it often refers to...

plain old data structures. Data types may be categorized according to several factors: Primitive data types or built-in data types are types that are built-in...

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

programming languages provide a complex data type for complex number storage and arithmetic as a built-in (primitive) data type. A complex variable or value is...

similar to how data structures like arrays store primitive data types like int, double, long or char, etc., but arrays store primitive data types while collections...

space and time cost). There are numerous types of data structures, generally built upon simpler primitive data types. Well known examples are: An array is...

'AND'. This approach with BOOLEAN as a built-in (either primitive or otherwise predefined) data type was adopted by many later programming languages, such...

properties of value and reference types vary from language to language, but typical properties include: Primitive data types, such as Booleans, fixed-size...

languages (or compilers for them) provide a built-in (primitive) or library decimal data type to represent non-repeating decimal fractions like 0.3 and...

types that represent threads or synchronization primitives like mutexes or condition variables. An opaque pointer is a special case of an opaque data...
