# 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>&#x20;

Some key bullet points:&#x20;

* 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
