Integer variable meaning positive whole numbers and negative whole number, including zero.Character variable meaning any key that can be assigned other than an integer or a special character, such as *, &, etc.

character variables store values between -128 and 127 for signed and 0 and 255 for unsigned. they take up one byte of memory and are most usually used to store Alphanumeric characters, i.e. 'a' 'b' '$' '/'.

 

integers usually use between 16 and 32 bits of memory and can therefore store 2^16 or 2^32 different numbers (works out to be up to 4294967296).

 

It's also important to note that Mathematical Operations (+x-/) should not be used on character variables. If you want to manipulate whole numbers, then use an integer.

in a very simple way .. we have:

 

char = a,b,c ,d, ... any character (you can put a number here, but if you want print it on the screen ... the compiler will print the ascii code).

 

int = integer numbers : 0,1,2,3 ... 64000
