Title Slide

• Data Types in C Language


• PPS - Programming for Problem Solving
• Name: Preet Yadav
• Roll No: 2401440100032
• Section: A
Introduction to Data Types
• What is a Data Type?
• Why is it important in C?
Classification of Data Types
• 1. Basic
• 2. Derived
• 3. Enumeration
• 4. User Defined
Diagram here
Basic Data Types Overview
• int, float, char, double
int - Integer Data Type
• Used to store whole numbers.
• Example: int x = 10;

Diagram here
float - Floating Point
• Used for decimal values.
• Example: float pi = 3.14;

Diagram here
double - Precision Float
• Stores larger decimal values.
• Example: double val = 123.456;
char - Character Data Type
• Used to store characters.
• Example: char ch = 'A';

Size and Range Table
Data Type Size Range
int 4 bytes -2,147,483,648 to
2,147,483,647
float 4 bytes 3.4E-38 to 3.4E+38
double 8 bytes 1.7E-308 to 1.7E+308
char 1 byte -128 to 127
Signed vs Unsigned Types
• Signed: Can hold negative and positive.
• Unsigned: Only positive.

Diagram here
Modifiers
• short, long, signed, unsigned
short and long
• Example: short int x; long int y;
unsigned usage
• Example: unsigned int count = 100;
Derived Data Types
• Array
• Pointer
• Structure
• Union
Diagram here
Array
• Collection of same type elements.

Diagram here
Pointer
• Holds address of a variable.
Structure
• Used to combine different data types.
Union
• Similar to structure but memory shared.
User Defined Data Types
• typedef
• enum
typedef example
• typedef int marks;
• marks m1, m2;
enum example
• enum week {Mon, Tue};
Example Code
• #include <stdio.h>
• int main() {
• int x = 5;
• float y = 3.2;
• char z = 'A';
• printf("%d %f %c", x, y, z);
• return 0;
• }
Output Explanation
• Prints values of variables.
• Output: 5 3.200000 A
Diagram: Memory Representation

Diagram here
Storage Classes
• auto, static, extern, register
auto and register
• Default storage classes.
static and extern
• Used for memory persistence and linkage.
Practical Use of Data Types
• Choose data types based on use case.
Common Errors
• Mismatch of type
• Overflow or Underflow
Summary
• Data Types are core part of C
• Use wisely for efficiency
