integer literal can be a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal constant. A prefix
specifies the base or radix: 0x or 0X for hexadecimal, 0 for octal, and nothing
for decimal.
REAL CONSTANT(float)
A real constant(float) has an integer part, a decimal point, a fractional part, and an exponent part.
You can represent real constant(float) either in decimal form or exponential
form
CHARACTER CONSTANT

DATA TYPE
§
Integer: Keyword used for
integer data types is int. Integers typically
requires 4 bytes of memory space and ranges from -2147483648 to 2147483647.
§
Character:
Character data type is used for storing characters. Keyword used for character
data type is char. Characters typically
requires 1 byte of memory space and ranges from -128 to 127 or 0 to 255.
§
Floating Point:
Floating Point data type is used for storing single precision floating point
values or decimal values. Keyword used for floating point data type is float. Float variables typically requires 4 byte of
memory space.
§
Double Floating Point: Double Floating Point data type is used for storing double
precision floating point values or decimal values. Keyword used for double
floating point data type is double. Double variables typically requires 8 byte of memory space.
§
void: Void means without any
value. void datatype represents a valueless entity. Void data type is used for
those function which does not returns a value.
