In a type system, a data type represents a constraint placed upon the interpretation of data, describing representation, interpretation and structure of values or objects stored in computer memory. A sum and a product In the c programming language, data types constitute the semantics and characteristics of storage of data elements

They are expressed in the language syntax in form of declarations for memory locations or variables
Data types also determine the types of operations or methods of processing of data elements.

Wikimedia commons has media related to data types.in computer programming, a type or data type is a defined kind of data, that is, a set of possible values and basic operations on those values Primitive data type in computer science, primitive data types are sets of basic data types from which all other data types are constructed
[1] specifically it often refers to the limited set of data representations in use by a particular processor, which all compiled programs must use. In statistics, data can have any of various types Statistical data types include categorical (e.g Country), directional (angles or directions, e.g
Wind measurements), count (a whole number of events), or real intervals (e.g
The data type is a fundamental concept in statistics and controls what sorts of probability distributions can logically be used to describe. Value type and reference type in certain computer programming languages, data types are classified as either value types or reference types, where reference types are always implicitly accessed via references, whereas value type variables directly contain the values themselves Algebraic data type in computer programming, especially in functional programming and type theory, an algebraic data type (adt) is a composite data type โa type formed by combining other types An algebraic data type is defined by two key constructions
