<li><code>Hexadecimal</code> - A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal">numbering system</a>. Similar numbering sytems include decimal (also called base-ten) and roman numerals.<ul>
<li>Easy method for programmers and computers to understand each other which groups/separates bytes of information in a readable format.</li>
<li>Representing computer numbers as decimal results in an unreadable mess.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>s32/word/int</code> - A max size for a number. Data represented as 32 bits or 4 bytes: <code>0x00000001</code>. It consists of eight digits.</li>
<li><code>s16/half-word/short</code> - A number represented as 16 bits or 2 bytes: <code>0x0001</code>. It consists of four digits. Maximum value 65,535 (0xFFFF).</li>
<li><code>s8/byte/char</code> - A number represented as 8 bits or 1 byte: <code>0x01</code>. It consists of two digits. Maximum value 255 (0xFF).</li>
<li><code>unsigned</code> - A positive integer. 0, 1 to maximum value.</li>
<li><code>signed</code> - A positive or negative integer. 0, -1 to -max, 1 to max.<ul>
<li>Max value slightly lower than unsigned due to a bit being used to set whether negative or positive.</li>
<li>Google "Two's complement" for an indepth technical explanation.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><code>f32/float</code> - A positive or negative value containing a decimals such as <code>5.0f</code> or <code>5.1f</code> or <code>5.148282f</code></li>
