Some languages such as Julia include a true 32-bit Unicode character type as primitive. [24] Other languages such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and many dialects of BASIC do not have a primitive character type but instead add strings as a primitive data type, typically using the UTF-8 encoding. Strings with a length of one are normally used to ...
Primitive data types, such as Booleans, fixed-size integers, floating-point values, and characters, are value types. Objects, in the sense of object-oriented programming, belong to reference types. Assigning to a variable of reference type simply copies the reference, whereas assigning to a variable of value type copies the value.
Especially whole numbers larger than 2 53 - 1, which is the largest number JavaScript can reliably represent with the Number primitive and represented by the Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER constant. When dividing BigInts, the results are truncated .
Primitive data types or built-in data types are types that are built-in to a language implementation. User-defined data types are non-primitive types. For example, Java's numeric types are primitive, while classes are user-defined. A value of an atomic type is a single data item that cannot be broken into component parts.
This is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:data types. It includes data types that can also be found in the parent category, or in diffusing subcategories of the parent. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Primitive types .
In computer science, boxing (a.k.a. wrapping) is the transformation of placing a primitive type within an object so that the value can be used as a reference. Unboxing is the reverse transformation of extracting the primitive value from its wrapper object. Autoboxing is the term for automatically applying boxing and/or unboxing transformations ...

In C, the functions strcmp and memcmp perform a three-way comparison between strings and memory buffers, respectively. They return a negative number when the first argument is lexicographically smaller than the second, zero when the arguments are equal, and a positive number otherwise.
