Lesson 6:
DATA TYPE & VARIABLES

ICT 1 | Fundamental in Computer

Programming
OBJECTIVES
• Identify the data types of Programming C;
• Explain the rules of declaring variables; and
• Write the code with declaring variable and data type
type variable;
 DATA TYPE
a set of data with values having predefined
characteristics.
BASIC TYPES OF
DATA TYPE
INTEGERS
represent signed whole number

BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE

int x;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
int x = 1;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
int x = 1234;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
type variable = value;

BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE

FLOATING-POINTS
can be numbers with fractional part

BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE

float y;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
float y = 1.0;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
float y = 12.34;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
double z;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
double z =
1.00;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
double z =
1234.5678;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
 CHARACTERS
as char symbols in a character set that is similar to
letters and numbers.

BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE

char c;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
char c = ‘a’;
BASIC TYPES OF DATA TYPE
type variable;
type variable;
 VARIABLE
It is temporary storage for values that you will use in
program.
 VARIABLE
NAMING RULE
 ONLY LETTERS, NUMBERS
AND UNDERSCORE.
INVALID VALID

2ndNumber Number2

VARIABLE NAMING RULE

 NO SPACE ALLOWED

INVALID VALID
first name firstname

 DATA TYPE SIZE FORMAT SPECIFIER

int 2-4 %d, %i

float 4 %f
double 8 %lf
char 1 %c
