We should talk about types as done in section 3 of Stroustrup, and present
- the fundamental types: char, int, float, double, signed, unsigned;
- the derived types: *, &, [], ();
- structures;
- mention the definition of an identifier;
- some words about scopes and variables lifespan;
- an example of an enum;
- and a few more words about integer, floating points, character constants
and string literals.
We can use the Exercises to generate discussions and use the
answers from Hansen's Answer
Book for more material.
Since this is essentially C material, anyone with a C background can
help writing this Chapter.
