  Description
 
    Types are classification devices that categorize data in terms
    of useful characteristics. They allow solutions to problems in
    terms of height, weight, color, number, density, or any other
    characteristic that best describes the underlying data. Types
    also hide most of the memory-management considerations required
    to store data efficiently in memory or on disk.
 
    QuickPascal divides types into the following three categories:
 
      ════════════════
      Reference types
      Simple types
      Structured types
