Data types

In C++, a variable can be converted from one type to another using four casts, one of them being static cast, e.g. static_cast<double>(outcomes[j])/trials

• int: Integer, 4 bytes long
• float: float
• double: longer float
• char: character
• unsigned: only positive
• long: use more bytes, can use on int and double
• short: use less bytes, can use on int
• void: no input or output, e.g. int main(void) means return an int, no input arguments
