| − | [[Data type|Data types]] indicate both how much data is stored as well as how that data can be processed and represented. Some languages (such as [[PHP]]) are typeless, indicating that variables can store any type of data. Other languages (such as [[C++]]) are strictly typed, indicating that each variable can only store data of a given type. | + | [[Data type|Data types]] indicate both how much data is stored as well as how that data can be processed and represented.

Some (such as [[PHP]]) are loosely typed, which means that variables can be given a defined type, but this is not always strictly enforced.
