Which data type matches the literal "True" (quoted)?

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

Answer: (B)

A literal enclosed in quotes is treated as text, a string. The characters inside the quotes form the string "True," which is four characters long. Because the value is written as text, it’s stored as a String rather than a boolean, number, or decimal. If True were written without quotes, many languages would interpret it as a boolean value representing true, but with the quotes it becomes a string. Strings are used for text, while booleans store true/false, integers store whole numbers, and floats store decimals.
