                 C.  Answer the following questions:

                    1.  What do you mean by data type?
                   Ans.  A data type is a category that specifies the possible values in a variable or data structure and how those values are stored in the
                       computer's memory.
                    2.  Define operator.
                   Ans.  An operator is a special symbol that signifies the compiler to perform some specific mathematical or non-mathematical operations
                       on one or more operands.
                    3.  What is ASCII code?
                   Ans.  ASCII  stands  for  American  Standard  Code  for  Information  Interchange.  It  is  a  character  encoding  standard  for  text  files  on
                       computers and other devices.
                    4.  What is a primitive data type? Name any two primitive data types.
                   Ans.  Primitive data types are predefined or built-in data types in the Java programming language. These are fundamental or basic data
                       types. Examples of primitive data types are int and char.
                    5.  Identify the two categories of data types.
                   Ans.  The two categories of data types are primitive and non-primitive.
                    6.  What is the range of char datatype?
                   Ans.  The range of "char" data type is from '\u0000' (or 0) to '\uffff' (or 65,535).
                    7.  The following declaration is of some identifiers:
                       int a; float b; long c; char d;
                        Identify the data type of the "dt":
                       dt = a*10 - b/c * (int)c;
                   Ans.  float
                    8.  Explain the term "type casting".
                   Ans.  Type casting is a process of changing one type value to another type. It is also known as type conversion.
                    9.  What are literals? Give any two examples.
                   Ans.  Literals or constants are values that cannot be changed once assigned. Two examples of literals are:
                       1.  real literal: 3.5                           2.  String literal: "India"
                    10.  Write one similarity and one difference between long and short data types.
                   Ans.  Similarity: Both data types contain numerical values.
                     `  Difference: The storage capacity of long is larger than the short data type.

                                         long data types                                 short data types
                       Occupies 64 bits (8 bytes)                       Occupies 16 bits (2 bytes)
