What is the data type for the data value "Any word"?

• A. Integer
• B. String
• C. Boolean
• D. Float

Answer: (B)

Text data types are used to store letters and words. The value "Any word" is made up of characters (and a space), so it isn’t numeric and isn’t a true/false value. Integers hold whole numbers, floats hold numbers with decimals, and booleans hold true or false. Because this is text, the appropriate data type is string, which stores sequences of characters. In code, such a value is typically written with quotes to indicate it’s text.
