Primitive Datatypes

Primitive Datatypes: These are the most basic datatypes that are built into a programming language. They typically include:

  • Integer: Whole numbers, both positive and negative.

  • Floating Point: Numbers with a fractional part usually named float, double, etc.

  • Character: Individual characters like letters, numbers, and symbols.

  • Boolean: True or False values.
