Primitive Data Types:
Primitive data types are described in a program by language specific keywords

3. byte
4. short
5. long

Now we discuss the second type of Data Types
Composite Data Types
Complex data types are defined using combination of priimitve types. Composite data types can be arrays, vector and strings.
Array : An array is a collection of homogenous data types
Vectors: Vector are mathematical representation of arrays
String: A strings is a combination of characters
