3Data Types

Data types are the foundation of programming — they define what kind of values a variable can hold and what operations can be performed on them.

  • Writing correct and efficient code

  • Avoiding bugs (e.g., trying to add a string to an integer) and possible crashes

  • Optimizing memory and performance

  • Critical for certain industries or businesses (Finance, Handling Money, Hospitals etc.)
