Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce some basic types, also called primitive types. You will use these types most frequently, and having a big picture understanding how they work is a big plus. How to manipulate these types is also discussed to some degree. Strings are covered in greater detail – and there is plenty to cover – later on in the book; for now the basics are discussed. The goal is not to overwhelm you from the beginning.
