Scalar data type

A scalar data type, or just scalar, is any non- composite value.

Generally, all basic primitive data types are considered scalar:

  • The Boolean data type (bool)
  • Numeric types (int, the floating point types float and double)
  • Character types (char)

Some programming languages also treat strings as scalar types, while other languages treat strings as arrays or objects.
