   • Byte
     • 8-bit that can hold values of 0 to 255. useful for binary data.

   • Long
     • it store values in a ranging from -79.228.162.514.264.337.593.543.950.335 up to 79.228.162.514.264.337.593.543.950.335 If the value does not contain a decimal.
   • Decima
     • 32-bit number ranging from-3. 402823E38 to - 1,401298 E-45 for negative values and from 1, 401298E-45 to 3. 402823E38 for values positive.

2. form: they are treated as controls with their properties, methods and events.

   • Name
     • It is necessary to call the form from the code.
   • Caption
