Common Programming Concepts

Basic concept of the data type in programming

There is a very good chapter in the Rust book for you to learn about Rust data type: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch03-02-data-types.html

Some key bullet points:

  • Memory only stores binary data

    • Anything can be represented in binary

  • Program determines what the binary represents

  • Basic types that are universally useful are provided by the language
