Data Type

In programming, classification of a particular type of information. It is easy for humans to distinguish between different types of data.  We do this through special symbols -- %, :, and $ -- that indicate the data's type. Similarly, a computer uses special internal codes to keep track of the different types of data it processes.
Examples:
- Alpha-numeric text
- numeric
