Abstract
In this chapter, we’ll explain the fundamental data types that are built into C++. You’ll need these in every program. All of the object-oriented capabilities are founded on these fundamental data types because all the data types that you create are ultimately defined in terms of the basic numerical data your computer works with. By the end of the chapter, you’ll be able to write a simple C++ program of the traditional form: input – process – output.
