 Hey, what's up guys we're the know here come back at you with some more batch tutorials I'm gonna get the windows command line started up here bring a write down so you guys can see what we're doing and let's get to Doing some programming Now today, I'm gonna be showing you guys another really simple and pretty easy concept to understand But remember we are still in the very early stages of the series So we're gonna be going through some pretty easy to understand stuff And obviously we're gonna keep building off of that once we get further and further into the series But today what I'm gonna be talking about is something called data types and this is very easy to understand These aren't actually commands It's just a type or a form of data or something you're gonna be manipulating when you're actually writing a program or writing a script You do have information and things that you want to be able to work with so It's pretty easy to understand that like a number is a number though some letters are text and Some words like a sentence is just some some piece of information that we want to be able to work with though But all of these do have kind of a specific name But you aren't really going to be able to see these in the shell Like if we type in one it's obviously gonna tell us one isn't really a command or anything that we can run So but I just I do want you guys to be able to know if you have something like a one or Or maybe a zero or even a negative number a negative number like negative one or negative 30 How about how about we get 9,000 in there too? Just because that's kind of cool all these are what we call integers and it's just a number I'm sure you've probably heard of this in algebra or back when you were in math class when you were you were a little baby and Yeah, but these are just numbers. They are whole numbers that we're gonna be working with now in batch You wouldn't normally see something called a floating point number or anything that uses a decimal like 4.9 8 or something Or like 3.14 if you want to be pie. I Like hey, whatever But yeah in batch we don't use these too often But in other scripting languages and even other programming languages, of course We will be using them so I do want to introduce that theme and that I do to you guys Even if we don't use them so much in batch because it's really gonna help you later on if you keep learning programming languages And other computer-based things So another thing that we're gonna be taking a look at though is Numbers don't really help us out too much If we're gonna be getting information across to our users and actually being able to tell them what's going on We need to be able to actually say things to them We need to be able to give them text and give them something to be able to read and understand So if we just typed in letters and words obviously like hey My name is John This is a string of text Each every single one of these each symbol each letter each piece of white space or exclamation point It's a character and you can kind of think of a character as a symbol It can really be anything as long as it's something that's maybe in the alphabet Maybe it's part of grammar like an exclamation point or something But it's just a character and when you have a whole lot of these when you have a sentence or a phrase or something That you want to be displaying what this is called is a string. It's a string of text now normally in other languages You'd be using a quotation mark here double quotation marks or even single quotation marks in some cases But in batch we don't really use these too often For output and some other things we don't use them because we don't really want these these quotation marks to be visible when we're displaying them and Echo the actual the actual program and command that we use to display the output will interpret them So in some cases we do use these quotation marks in some cases We don't because batch is just plain a little weird and that's how it works But that is kind of what I want to be able to show you guys These are the data types that we're going to be working with something called strings. We have integers and that sort of thing They're obviously a lot more out there. I Definitely recommend you take a look and see what else you can find on data types It'd be cool if you guys could kind of do a little bit of your own research and see what else you can learn But I do want to be able to show you guys at least what we're going to be working with later on in the series So when you have information you're trying to work with and manipulate this data It's going to be in forms of either a string or an integer or a number and that sort of thing So we're gonna be working with these a lot more in the next video I will be sure to see you guys then and I hope you you stay beautiful until then Goodbye guys
