Data classification
Here’s a broad definition of data types followed by the definitions of integer, float, and string:
Data Type (Broadly Defined):
A data type is a classification that specifies the kind of value a variable can hold and what operations can be performed on it. It helps the computer understand how the data should be stored, interpreted, and processed.
-1. Integer (int):
An integer is a data type that represents whole numbers without any fractional or decimal part.
Examples: -3, 0, 42, 1000
-2. Float (floating-point):
A float is a data type used to represent real numbers that have a decimal point.
Examples: 3.14, -0.001, 100.0
--3. String (str):
A string is a sequence of characters used to represent text. It can include letters, numbers, symbols, and spaces, and is usually enclosed in quotation marks.
Examples: "Hello", "123", "OpenAI GPT-4"
