Char: A char takes up 1 byte of memory and stores a character value written in single quotes, like 'a'. The char stores the characters in ascii as numbers, which means a char can be used for arithmetic. The char datatype is a signed type, meaning that it encodes numbers from –128 to 127. The unsigned char can store numbers from 0 to 255 (and is exactly the same as the byte type).
