We all know that learning data types in C/C++ or any other programming language, for that matter, is essential. As keep using them all the time in our coding and career as software engineer journey.
Every data type will be associated with a specific size and memory, and when it exceeds its range, it turns out to be an infinite loop but will never reach the value it is supposed to be. Here we will see all the examples of char, int, bool etc.
C++ Code
Example
// Here we are writing down the C++ programming language code to demonstrate
// the concept What Happens When We Exceed Valid Range of Built-in Data Types
// in C++? and C++ program to demonstrate the problem with 'char'
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// The main Driver Code Functionality starts from here
int main()
{
// A simple for loop code
for (char b = 1; b <= 100; b++)
cout << b;
return 0;
}
Output:
