### Data Types in C++ : ### Data Types in C++ :
When declaring variables in c++ they must have a name to which you will reffer later on, a value (constant or not) and a type. When declaring variables in c++ they must have a name to which you will refer later on, a value (constant or not) and a type.
The type will tell the compiler the values that the variable can use, the possible operations and will save a certain space in memmory. The type will tell the compiler the values that the variable can use, the possible operations and will save a certain space in memory.
