There are two kinds of DataType~s: atomic (FloatingPoint numbers, Integers, single characters, [Pointer]s) and compound (arrays, structs, objects). Compound [DataType]s are composed of other [DataType]s (be that atomic or other compound ones). DataType~s are the building blocks of DataStructure~s. |
