Are you planning to become a programmer?\u00a0If so, you need to learn data types first.<\/p>\n

Why is that?\u00a0Because the data type is a classification that\u00a0determines how you will use the data in the program<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

So, by using the right data type, the program you create will run smoothly.<\/p>\n

Well, actually there are so many programming data types themselves.\u00a0But in this article we will only discuss the most common types, namely types that fall into the\u00a0primitive<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0composite<\/strong>\u00a0categories\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Within these two categories, there are six commonly used data types<\/a>, namely:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Integer<\/em>\u00a0(\u00a0integer<\/em>\u00a0)<\/li>\n
  2. Fractional numbers (\u00a0floating point<\/em>\u00a0)<\/li>\n
  3. Karakter (\u00a0Char<\/em>\u00a0)<\/li>\n
  4. Boolean<\/li>\n
  5. String<\/li>\n
  6. Array<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Have you ever heard of the six data types? Want to know more? Let’s see in the next section!<\/p>\n

    We will now discuss the details of each type.\u00a0First, we will discuss four data types that fall into the primitive category, namely\u00a0integer, floating point, char,<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0boolean<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

    Finally, we will discuss two types that fall into the composite category, namely\u00a0strings<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0arrays<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

    Here are the differences between primitive data and composite data:<\/p>\n
