There is a chapter covering an intro to data types here. I don't know whether you have got to it, but there isn't really much to tell except for what was given there https://www.sololearn.com/learn/C/2912/

data type is used to assign data under a variable. like int (integer)data can assign from (-214748648) to (214748647.) and you see also see the other data types like double.it is used to asign a decimal number like , double a; a=1.2; to print double type data,you need to use %lf by replacing %d %d is used to print the integer type data.and %lf is used to print double type data.And here is a nother data type which is char.It is used assign single characters. Like char a = 'A'; to print char type data , use %c . Include it for printing char type datas .More info at solo lean. Hope I helped you happy coding.☺

As C is statically typed, you need to specify the data type of a variable when declaring it.

Main types. The C language provides the four basic arithmetic type specifiers char, int, float and double, and the modifiers signed, unsigned, short, and long.

Data types describes that which type of data are you going to store in your variable. And accordingly allots memory space to a veriable For example char data type stores character value and had alloted 1byte memory int have integeral value and alloted 2byte memory
