This document discusses different data types in C programming. It defines data types as specifying the type of data entered into programs and how that data is stored. The primary data types discussed are char, int, float, double, and void. Derived data types build upon primary types and include arrays, pointers, functions, and strings. User-defined data types can also be created using the typedef keyword to customize existing data types for specific needs. Common derived data types are pointers, arrays, unions, and structures.
