Primitive data types generally include,<ul><li dir = "auto">Integers (Real numbers)</li><li dir = "auto">Floats and Doubles (with fractional values)</li><li dir = "auto">Character (A single character in the character set)</li><li dir = "auto">String (Group of characters)</li><li dir = "auto">Boolean(either true or false).</li></ul> {3/8}

Primitive data types

Custom defined data types are actually defined by the programmer through code by extending/including other data types. {6/8}

Custom defined data types

Composite data types include,<ul><li dir = "auto">Arrays (group of primitive data types under a single identifier)</li><li dir = "auto">Unions</li><li dir = "auto">Sets</li><li dir = "auto">Lists, etc.,</li></ul> {5/8}

Composite data types

They can create a structure which fits their needs. Example, create a data type which holds three values which are related to a specific thing (like an object or map). {7/8}

Custom defined types are much more like Map or Object, but the main difference is Custom defined types are derived from maps, and can be used totally as a new data type. {8/8}

Data types are a quite important topic in the programming world. It's a list of types of information which can be used to store/evaluate/process. It can be generally classified into Primitives, Composites and Custom defined. A thread on it. {1/8}

Data Types

Primitive data types are types of data which are pre-defined in the computer/programming language. {2/8}

Composite data types are types of data which are derived from one or more primitive data types. {4/8}
