Introductory Message
This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions,
directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand
each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-
by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

At the end of each module, you need to answer the test to self-check your
learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you
will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they
can best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any
part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and
tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Computer Programming – Learning Module 1 on Data Types

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used
to depict skill, action, and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create, and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a
learner is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant
competencies and skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies
in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities
for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be
enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active
learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

This will give you an idea of the skills or

competencies you are expected to learn in the
module. A brief drill or review to help you link
the current lesson with the previous one. The
new lesson will also be introduced to you in
various ways such as a story, a song, a poem,
a problem opener, an activity, or a situation.
This section provides a brief discussion of the
Learn
lesson. This aims to help you discover and
understand new concepts and skills.

What’s More This comprises activities for independent

practice to solidify your understanding and
skills of the topic. You may check the answers
to the exercises using the Answer Key at the
end of the module.
This includes questions or blank
Apply sentence/paragraph to be filled into process
what you learned from the lesson.

Assess This is a task which aims to evaluate your

level of mastery in achieving the learning
competency.
This contains answers to all activities in the
Answer Key module.

developing this module.
The following are some reminders in using this module:

1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of
the module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the
exercises.

2. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.

3. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your
answers.

4. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.

5. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.

If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you
are not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning
and gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

Introduction:

A data type is a classification of data which tells the compiler or

interpreter how the programmer intends to use the data. Most
programming languages support various types of data, including integer,
real, character or string, and Boolean

After going through this module, you are expected to:

Identify the types and uses of different datatypes.

Sub-Task:
a. Understand the concept of data types in Programming Languages;
b. discuss the need to use data type in declaring a variable;
c. use appropriate data type in a given variable.

Definition of Terms:
Boolean
A data type representing logical true or false.
data type
Defines a set of values and a set of operations that can be applied on those
values.
floating point
A data type representing numbers with fractional parts.
integer
A data type representing whole numbers.
string
A data type representing a sequence of characters

What is a Data Type

A Data Type is an attribute of data which tells the computer on how it will be
handled during execution.

Basic Data Types

1. The data that human beings use.
2. The data used solely by the computer and its I/O devices

As human beings, we are using two types of data:

1. Character data
2. Numeric data

Character Data
Character data includes any character that can be input to the computer. It can be
anything accepted by the computers. Character data is usually defined as a string
of words. A word is a contiguous set of characters and a string is a combination of
multiple words. Character data is generally used as:

1. Strings - A string can consist of multiple words.

Represents a sequence of characters

Examples: “ Hello World ! “

2. Memo or Long Text Matter – Used to store documents or long explanations

inside a database.

3. Special Strings - The URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) used for website
addresses and email addresses form part of this data type.

Numeric Data
Numeric data is numbers expressing the value of some attribute of an entity.

Computers subject numeric data to arithmetic manipulation, and it is possible to

perform all arithmetic operations on numeric data. Numeric data is further
classified into the following types:

1. Integers - Integers are whole numbers without any fractional part

Examples: -5,0,123

Q2_STE_Computer_Programming_ Module 1 Page 4 of 21

Downloaded by Shiloh Araneta ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|46786555

2. Real number - Real numbers are those that have a fractional part
Examples: -87.5, 0.0, 3.14159
3. Date - Dates contains three distinct parts, namely the day of the
month, the month, and the year.
4. Time – Time Contains three numbers for the hour, the minute, and
the second
5. Currency - A special number whose fractional part is restricted to 2
digits after the decimal point
6. Counters - integers and is used to count the number of iterations
7. Auto Incremented Number - These are used in database tables to
form a primary key for the table.

Special Data Types

There are data types that are used for special purposes in programs,
especially in developing system software.

1. Arrays - Arrays are tables of data. Usually, arrays are used in solving
mathematical problems in matrix algebra.
2. Pointers - Pointers are a special type of integer data. Pointers can
hold the address of any location inside the RAM.
3. Union - Union is a special data type used in the C family of
programming languages.
4. Boolean - This data has only two states, namely, 0 (true or yes) or 1
(false or no)
