Which of the following data types should a developer use when creating a variable to hold a postal code?

________________ are whole numbers. For example: 5, 21, or 65536. An __________ data type consumes 1 to 8 bytes of computer storage.

________________ can support decimal fractions such as 4.1, 26.4, or 5.62.
