What is the difference between datatype and keyword in c?

Answer 1

data type refers to the kind of value that is held by a particular variable. For ex: an int variable contains integer value, a string holds a alpha numeric value etc.

variable refers to the name of a value using which we can refer to this value.

Ex:

public int age = 28;

here int is the data type and age is the variable.

Answer 2

a datatype tells the compiler to reserve the memory for ex:-int a; then 2 bytes are reserved for variable a in a 16-bit machine or more.the size of int is 4 bytes in case of pentium 4 processor.

a datatype is a keyword

a keyword is a word whose meaning is known to the compiler.

Answer 3

A variable's data type typically defines the variable's memory layout and value range or sets. Data types typically also stipulate one possible representation. Generic data types such as "int" or "float" don't offer much more, but specific data types such as "StudentRecord" or "DinoAge" can also provide semantics.

Answer 4

Keywords are the reserved words in a programming language. They cannot be used as a variable name inside of your program. Datatype are keyword which define what type of data a particular variable can hold

Answer 5

data type means the type of storage to be used for a perticular variable, such as a char takes 2 bytes of space,integer takes 4 bytes of space,etc..

Answer 6

They are entirely different things like apple and cloak.

Answer 7

A data type defines the properties associated with a name (a variable, a class or a function). A field is a member variable of a structured data type.
