String types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Char | Stores a single Ansi character |
| String | Holds a sequence of Ansi characters of any length |
| WideString | Holds a sequence of Unicode characters of any length |
Other types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean | Provides an enumeration of the logical True and False values |
| Array | Single and multi dimensional indexable sequences of data |
| Record | Provides means of collecting together a set of different data types into one named structure |
| Variant | Provides a flexible general purpose data type |
Enumerations
An enumeration is simply a fixed range of named values.
For example, the Boolean data type is itself an enumeration, with two possible values: True and False. If you try to assign a different value to a Boolean variable, the code will not compile.
