Question

On what basis of a variable, OS allocates memory and decides what can be stored in the reserved memory?

(a) Data bases

(b) Data sets

(c) Data types

(d) Lists

This question was addressed to me in a national level competition.

My enquiry is from Data Types topic in division Nuts and Bolts and Getting Data In and Out of R Programming

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Data types

To elaborate: Based on the data type of a variable, the OS allocates the memory and decides what can be stored on the reserved memory. This means that when you create a variable you reserve some space in memory.
