data type
classification of data in computer science
Decimal data type

FIN
Flag in network logs
machine-readable data

variable-length quantity
encoding method which can be used to encode variable length integers
statistical data
codified, fixed and transferable information
pointer

abstract data type
mathematical model for data types
C data type
data type supported by the C programming language
abstract type
type in a nominative type system that cannot be instantiated directly
economic data
data about the economy
C array
data type in C and C++ programming languages; a thin abstraction on top of pointers; their length is usually known in compile-time (except for C99 variable-length arrays); when passed as function argument, they decay to pointers

Wikipedia article covering multiple topics
queue
abstract data type
structure in C
structured type in C programming language
primitive data type
basic data type which can be instanciated and used with the predefined operations of a programming language, or assembled as a building block together with other instances of any type to create more complex composite data types
top type
the universal type, sometimes called the universal supertype as all other types in any given type system are subtypes of top; the type which contains every possible object in the type system of interest
binary data
data whose unit can take on only two possible states, traditionally labeled as 0 and 1 in accordance with the binary numeral system and Boolean algebra.
statistical data type
classification of groups of individual data points
Stockholm format
file format
reference type
kind of data type in some programming languages whose values can be accessed only via references
health data
