In challange question
Which of the data types takes a number..

Why is string not an answer?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what programming language this relates to but short, int, long, float, double are common numeric data types in a few languages.

string is best for text. Converting a string to an int or double takes time and it might not be possible to convert. What number does "Hello" represent? Aside from NaN(Not a number), nearly every value if not all values in a short, int, long, float, or double are valid numbers.

Answer 2

It c#..

Answer 3

Abhinav, the types in the previous answer work for c# then. c# has short, int, long, float, and double.
