What you will learn in Part 1: Data
Types
Know what data types are and what they are
used for.
Understand and identify different data types
including text, number, percentage, date/time
and Boolean.
Be able to select the correct data type for
different sets of data.

Data exist in many forms for example text,
numbers or date.
What is Data?
Categories of data:
1. Digital Data - Data that is stored and
manipulated on a computer.
2. Analogue Data - Data which is gathered
without a computer
Data Types?
The main types of data found in a computer
system are:
1. Boolean True/False (Logical data types)
2. Text/Alphanumeric- Data which is gathered
without a computer
3. Numeric - Numbers
4. Currency - Money
5. Date/Time
6. Percentage
1. Boolean ?
Boolean data can only have one of two values
true or false.
Used when there are only two possible
responses to a question.
True / False
Yes / No
On / Off
Male /Female
1 or 0
2. Text / Alphanumeric ?
Text - used for data that is made up of letters only
Alphanumeric - used for data that is made up
of letters AND numbers
3. Numeric Data?
Numeric data can be in 2 forms: Integer and Real
1. Integer Numbers made up of whole
numbers and can be positive or negative
values.
2. Real Numbers numbers with decimals and
can be positive or negative (above or below
zero)
