DATA
Data is written with numbers or characters for proces­
sing in the program. Data with numbers is regarded as
"numeric data" and the data with characters as "string
data". Either a constant or variable can be assigned
as a data item. The variables are of two types: i.e
simple variables and subscripted variables (an array).
The numeric data is divided into three categories,
namely integers, single-precision real numbers, and
double-precision real numbers.
