What are the basic data types supported in C?

C supports several different types of data, each of which may be represented differently within a computer's memory. The basic data types supported in C are:

1. Integer Types: These are used to store whole numbers. They can be further divided into the following types based on their storage size:

   • int: It is used to store an integer.
   • short: It is used to store an integer but takes less memory than int.
   • long: It is used to store an integer but takes more memory than int.

2. Floating-Point Types: These are used to store real numbers (numbers with fractional parts). They can be further divided into the following types:

   • float: It is used to store single precision floating point number or decimal number.
   • double: It is used to store double precision floating point number or decimal number. It takes more memory than float.

3. Character Types: These are used to store characters and strings. They can be further divided into the following types:

   • char: It is used to store a single character.
   • char[]: It is used to store a string of characters.

4. Void Type: The void type specifies that no value is available.

5. Derived data types: These include arrays, pointers, structures and unions.

6. Enumeration Types: An enumeration is a user-defined data type that consists of integral constants. To define an enumeration, keyword enum is used.

7. Boolean Types: A boolean data type can hold one of two values: true or false. In C, boolean is known as bool data type.

Each of these data types requires different amounts of memory and has some specific operations which can be performed over it.
