I'm trying to understand the distinction between built-in types and data types in programming. I want to know how they differ in terms of their functionality, usage, and declaration.

These data types do not require any special declaration from the user as they are already integrated into the language's syntax and semantics.

Conversely, a user-defined type is a type of data that is created by the programmer to meet specific needs that are not adequately addressed by the built-in types.

To use a user-defined type, the programmer must declare it, which involves specifying its structure and how it relates to the existing built-in types.

This process allows the compiler to understand the new type and how to handle it appropriately.

In programming, a built-in data type refers to a category of data that is predefined and recognized by both the programming language and its compiler.
