The basic data types—such as character, integer, and floating-point number—are categories too. Thus, the basic data types could be called built-in classes, and classes sometimes are called user-defined data types.
Analogously, individuals belonging to C++'s basic data types—such as characters, integers, and floating-point numbers—are objects. Thus, those individuals sometimes are called data-type objects.
