Two
data types for now:

The char Data Type – describes data
consisting of one
|
|
|
alphanumeric
character. We enclose them in single quotation
|
|
|
marks,
e.g., ‘A’ ‘a’ ‘_’ ‘8’
|
|
|
|
– |
The string Data Type – describes data
consisting of a sequence
|
|
|
of
characters. We enclose them in double quotation marks, e.g.,

“My name is Rhonda”
