Summary of Video: Data Types in C programming

This video is part of a series on C programming aimed at beginners, focusing specifically on Data Types in C. The presenter explains the importance of Data Types, their usage, and provides examples of various Data Types available in C programming.

Main Ideas and Concepts:

Definition of Data Types:
- Data Types specify the type of data that can be stored in a variable.
- Each variable must have a data type assigned to it.
Integer Data Type (int):
- Used to store whole numbers (positive, negative, and zero).
- Typically occupies 4 bytes of memory, allowing for 232 distinct values.
- Example usage:
```
int a = 10;
printf("%d", a); // Output: 10
```
Floating Point Data Types (float and double):
- float: Used for decimal values, occupies 4 bytes.
- double: Used for more precise decimal values, occupies 8 bytes.
- Example usage of double:
```
double number = 12.45;
printf("%lf", number); // Output: 12.450000
```
- To limit the decimal points:
```
printf("%.2lf", number); // Output: 12.45
```
- Exponential notation can also be used:
```
double expNumber = 5.5e6; // 5.5 * 10^6
```
Character Data Type (char):
- Represents single characters and is stored as integers.
- Example usage:
```
char ch = 'J';
printf("%c", ch); // Output: J
printf("%d", ch); // Output: 74 (ASCII value)
```
- Important points:
  - Use single quotes for characters.
  - %c is used to print characters.
Size of Data Types:
- The sizeof operator can be used to determine the size of various Data Types in bytes.
- Example:
```
printf("%zu", sizeof(int)); // Output: 4
printf("%zu", sizeof(double)); // Output: 8
```

Methodology/Instructions:

When using integer Data Types:
- Declare using int.
- Use %d for printing.
When using floating-point Data Types:
- Declare using float or double.
- Use %f for float and %lf for double.
- To control decimal points, use %.2f or %.2lf.
For character Data Types:
- Declare using char.
- Use single quotes for characters and %c for printing.
To find the size of Data Types:
- Use the sizeof operator.
