Data Type

Grouping of data on the basis of behaviour of data is called forming a Data Type. Data Type is formed when we attempt to group data items.  Certain Data items are closely related. These Data items are manipulated by performing same operations. We study the operations. We take a look at the Data set on which the studied operations have been performed.  Thus formation of a Data Type isvmarked by twin activities: 1 ) Clear  identification of Data items 2 ) Study of operations that manipulate     the Data items  Performance of operations on Data gives results. Actually operators are there to perform operations. Operators act on Data. Students of Mathematics have observed the behaviour of Integers. We know that we can perform arithmetic operations on Integers. To perform arithmetic operations we have arithmetic operators. Examples of arithmetic operators are: '+', '-', '×', and '÷'.  We can take any two Integers and see that arithmetic operators can be easi...
