11 Primitive Data Types

This chapter describes all the primitive data types of C—that is, all the data types that aren’t built up from other types. They include the types int and double that we’ve already covered.

• Integer Types  Description of integer types.
• Floating-Point Data Types  Description of floating-point types.
• Complex Data Types  Description of complex number types.
• The Void Type  A type indicating no value at all.
• Other Data Types  A brief summary of other types.
• Type Designators  Referring to a data type abstractly.

These types are all made up of bytes (see Storage).
