FC0-U71 · Question #86

Given the following data sequence: 1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Which of the following data types are these values an example of?

The correct answer is C. Boolean. Although the values look like numbers, the ordering (1, 10, 2, 3...) suggests they are being treated as strings, not numerical values. In string sorting, "10" comes after "1" but before "2" due to character- by-character comparison.
