C is known as a "typed language", because variables must have "types" to tell the compiler how to deal with them when it comes to using operators, amongst other things.
For instance, integer types, which like mathematics have no decimal point or fractional part, can use the % (modulus) operator and bitwise operators (| (or), & (and), ^ (xor)).
Floating point numbers have a decimal point and fractional part (which can be zero), and cannot use these operators because support doesn't exist for them.
Strings in C cannot use operators at all. In fact, strings are just arrays of characters (the "char" type).
For more information on C data types, see the related links below.
there are three data type ic c language. they are, 1.primary data type: a.integer type b.floating point type c.character type d.void type 2.derived data type eg; array, pointer 3.userdefined data type eg; structer and union
Data Type : - It is used to identify the type of data. 'C' Language has a large no of data type, Thus it is also known by rich data type language: Data type are generally classified in three group: 1: Fundamental data type 2 Derived Data Type : 3 Use defined data type; 1 Fundamental data type: Fundamental data type includes i) The int data type: The data type int can store integer value only for eg. 14, 45, 78 declaration: int a,b; here we can store any value in variable a & b. ii) Char Data Type : The data type char can store character value only which is enclosed with single quote for e.g. 'c' declaration : char x = 'c' iii) Float Data Type:
Data-type (short for integer).
In Pascal, data structures are implemented with recorddata types. A record is synonymous with the structdata type in C, or the class data type in C++.
Because it isn't a built-in data-type in C. Other examples that aren't built-in data-types: complex numbers, binary trees, associative-arrays.

I am assuming that the question is "What would the best data type to represent a price".Although this is open for debate, in Java I think that the best data type for a price is double and the best data type in C# to be decimal.I hope this answers your question.
float,int,char
Type 'int'
Use "typedef" : both in C and C++.
When you type '1' in a C++ program, it is considered to be of character data type(char). When you type 1, it is considered to be of integer data type.
