There are 9 types of data types. These include boolean, string, integer, double, decimal, character, byte, float and long.

Boolean is a binary value, being either true or false.
String is used for storing characters in word form.
Integer is used to store whole numbers (32 bit values).
Double is used to store numbers where there are numbers before and after the decimal point.
decimal is used for numbers only after the decimal point.
Character is used to store single letters.
Byte is used to store a byte( eight 1's or 0's).
Float is used to store a set number of digits after a decimal place.
Long integer is also used to store whole numbers (However these are 64 bit values).
