numeric data type
1Data type — For other uses, see Data type (disambiguation). In computer programming, a data type is a classification identifying one of various types of data, such as floating point, integer, or Boolean, that determines the possible values for that type; the …
2Array data type — Not to be confused with Array data structure. In computer science, an array type is a data type that is meant to describe a collection of elements (values or variables), each selected by one or more indices that can be computed at run time by the …
3Algebraic data type — In computer programming, particularly functional programming and type theory, an algebraic data type (sometimes also called a variant type[1]) is a datatype each of whose values is data from other datatypes wrapped in one of the constructors of… …
4Opaque data type — In computer science, an opaque data type is a user defined data type used like built in data type. It is incompletely defined in an interface, so that ordinary client programs can only manipulate data of that type by calling procedures that have… …
5Complex data type — Some programming languages provide a complex data type for complex number storage and arithmetic as a built in (primitive) data type. In some programming environments the term complex data type (in contrast to primitive data types) is a synonym… …
6Composite data type — In computer science, a composite data type is any data type which can be constructed in a program using its programming language s primitive data types and other composite types. The act of constructing a composite type is known as composition.… …
7Decimal data type — Some programming languages provide a built in (primitive) or library decimal data type to represent non repeating decimal fractions like 0.3 and 1.17 without rounding, and to do arithmetic on them. Examples are the decimal.Decimal type of Python …
8Type system — Type systems Type safety Inferred vs. Manifest Dynamic vs. Static Strong vs. Weak Nominal vs. Structural Dependent typing Duck typing Latent typing Linear typing Uniqueness typing …
9Data validation — In computer science, data validation is the process of ensuring that a program operates on clean, correct and useful data. It uses routines, often called validation rules or check routines , that check for correctness, meaningfulness, and… …
10Data structure — In computer science, a data structure is a particular way of storing and organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently.[1][2] Different kinds of data structures are suited to different kinds of applications, and some are highly …
