<p>An OK start</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''type''' is a formal designation of what kind of data a given item is. For instance, it might be a number, or a character. Types usually include more specific details; e.g. for numbers, they might be signed or unsigned, [[floating point]] or integer, and there is usually an indication of the precision (i.e. number of [[bit]]s).<br /> <br /> The [[hardware]] usually supports a limited, fixed number of types, but the [[software]] may augment that set; e.g. [[FORTRAN]] supports complex numbers natively.<br /> <br /> The use of [[structure]]s or similar mechanisms may allow a [[programming language]] to support even more complex types; e.g. the 'BIGNUM' [[subroutine package]] of [[LISP]] allows the use of arbitrary precision integers.</div>
