The Video/El Video


English

In this video you are going to learn about different kinds of ways that we store information in a program.
A variable is the container that we put information into. While we may deal with a ton of different data the types of data that we use can be broken down into 3-4 simple kids

AlphaNumeric Data: This is information/data that is any type of symbol that you can make with your keyboard. It is called AlphaNumeric because it can be Alphabetic or Numeric. 

Numeric Data: we have this kind of data because we need to be able to do math with the numbers in the program. only Numeric variables can be used with math funstions.

Special Data: we have a special variable type that stores the simplest information. This information or data is limited to t (for True), f (for False), 1 (for True), or 0 (for False). This variable stores only True or False Information. 

Here is a list of the types of variables that we most commonly use. this is not an exhaustive list only the most common.

AlphaNumeric
char - stores a single AlphaNumeric character
string - stores a bunch of AlphaNumeric characters

Numeric

int - stores a really large whole number
long - stores a really really large whole number 
float - stores a number with a decimal point
double - stores a much larger number with a decimal point

Special
bool - this variable type stores the simplest data out there; True or False 1 or 0.

En este video vas a aprender sobre los diferentes tipos de formas en que almacenamos información en un programa. 
Una variable es el contenedor en el que ponemos información. Aunque podemos manejar un montón de datos diferentes, los tipos de datos que usamos se pueden dividir en 3-4 categorías simples.

Datos Alfanuméricos: Esta es información/datos que pueden ser cualquier tipo de símbolo que puedas crear con tu teclado. Se llama Alfanumérico porque puede ser alfabético o numérico.

Datos Numéricos: tenemos este tipo de datos porque necesitamos poder hacer matemáticas con los números en el programa. Solo las variables numéricas se pueden usar con funciones matemáticas.

Datos Especiales: tenemos un tipo de variable especial que almacena la información más simple. Esta información o datos se limitan a t (para True), f (para False), 1 (para True) o 0 (para False). Esta variable almacena solo información True o False.

Aquí hay una lista de los tipos de variables que usamos más comúnmente. Esta no es una lista exhaustiva, solo las más comunes.


Carácter Alfanumérico -
char - un solo carácter alfanumérico 
string - un montón de caracteres alfanuméricos


Numérico
int - almacena un número entero realmente grande
long - almacena un número entero realmente, realmente grande
float - almacena un número con punto decimal
double - almacena un número mucho más grande con punto decimal
​

Especial
​bool - este tipo de variable almacena el dato más simple que existe; Verdadero o Falso 1 o 0.
