• ·      Simple, primitive or atomic data.
• ·      Compound , structured or derived data.

An atomic data is a fundamental unit of information which cannot be broken down in to constituent parts.

Whereas a derived data item is made up of one or more simple data items.

Simple	integer	Character	Float	double
