Data types in C programming

In C programming data types is a system to declare variables , functions of different types and a variable determines how much space it occupies in storage and how the bit pattern stored is interpreted.
Types and Description
Basic Types:
They are arithmetic types there are two types: (a) integer types and (b) floating-point types.
Enumerated types:
They are arithmetic types and  define variables that can only be assigned certain discrete integer values throughout the program.
The type void:
The type specifier void indicates that no value is available.
Derived types:
They include (a) Pointer types, (b) Array types, (c) Structure types, (d) Union types and (e) Function types.
Integer Types
Type    Storage size    Value range
char    1 byte    -128 to 127 or 0 to 255
unsigned char    1 byte    0 to 255
signed char    1 byte    -128 to 127
int    2 or 4 bytes    -32,768 to 32,767 or -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
unsigned int    2 or 4 bytes    0 to 65,535 or 0 to 4,294,967,295
short    2 bytes    -32,768 to 32,767
unsigned short    2 bytes    0 to 65,535
long    4 bytes    -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
unsigned long    4 bytes    0 to 4,294,967,295
Floating-Point Types
Type    Storage size    Value range    Precision
float    4 byte    1.2E-38 to 3.4E+38    6 decimal places
double    8 byte    2.3E-308 to 1.7E+308    15 decimal places
long double    10 byte    3.4E-4932 to 1.1E+4932    19 decimal places


The void Type

Types and Description

1    Function returns as void
There are various functions in C who do not return value or you can say they return void. A function with no return value has the return type as void. For example void exit (int status);
Function arguments as void
There are various functions in C who do not accept any parameter. A function with no parameter can accept as a void. For example int rand(void);
Pointers to void
A pointer of type void * represents the address of an object, but not its type. For example a memory allocation function void *malloc( size_t size ); returns a pointer to void which can be casted to any data type.
