Native Data Types

Most (if not all) of the popular programming languages have similar native or built-in data types.  The list includes the following:

• integer
• floating point
• boolean
• character
• string
• array

For any given language, there might be additional built-in types.  The keywords and syntax used to declare these types will also vary from language to language.  Any given language will also have various sizes of each of these types. 

Let's explore each of theses in a separate posting.
