Primitive Data Structure


What is Primitive Data Structure šŸŒ²

Primitive data structures are basic and fundamental data structures provided by programming languages. They are directly operated upon by machine instructions and are typically built into the programming language itself. Some common examples of primitive data structures include:

1.Integer: Used to store whole numbers.
2. Float/Double: Used to store floating-point numbers with decimal points.
3.Character: Used to store individual characters.
4.Boolean: Used to store true or false values.

Primitive data structures are simple and have fixed sizes, making them efficient in terms of memory usage and execution speed. They are usually atomic in nature, meaning they cannot be further subdivided.
