Complex data type — Some programming languages provide a complex data type for complex number storage and arithmetic as a built in (primitive) data type. In some programming environments the term complex data type (in contrast to primitive data types) is a synonym… … Wikipedia
Decimal data type — Some programming languages provide a built in (primitive) or library decimal data type to represent non repeating decimal fractions like 0.3 and 1.17 without rounding, and to do arithmetic on them. Examples are the decimal.Decimal type of Python … Wikipedia
Array data type — Not to be confused with Array data structure. In computer science, an array type is a data type that is meant to describe a collection of elements (values or variables), each selected by one or more indices that can be computed at run time by the … Wikipedia
Abstract data type — In computing, an abstract data type (ADT) is a specification of a set of data and the set of operations that can be performed on the data. Such a data type is abstract in the sense that it is independent of various concrete implementations. The… … Wikipedia
Algebraic data type — In computer programming, particularly functional programming and type theory, an algebraic data type (sometimes also called a variant type[1]) is a datatype each of whose values is data from other datatypes wrapped in one of the constructors of… … Wikipedia
Composite data type — In computer science, a composite data type is any data type which can be constructed in a program using its programming language s primitive data types and other composite types. The act of constructing a composite type is known as composition.… … Wikipedia
Real data type — A real data type is a data type used in a computer program to represent an approximation of a real number.Because the real numbers are not countable, computers cannot represent them exactly using a finite amount of information.Most often, a… … Wikipedia
Generalized Algebraic Data Type — Generalized Algebraic Data Types are generalizations of the algebraic data types of Haskell and ML, applying to parametric types.With this extension, the parameters of the return type of a data constructor can be freely chosen when declaring the… … Wikipedia

Data structure alignment — is the way data is arranged and accessed in computer memory. It consists of two separate but related issues: data alignment and data structure padding. When a modern computer reads from or writes to a memory address, it will do this in word sized … Wikipedia
Data profiling — is the process of examining the data available in an existing data source (e.g. a database or a file) and collecting statistics and information about that data. The purpose of these statistics may be to: Find out whether existing data can easily… … Wikipedia
