What is Extended Types?
Extended types cover additional numeric and specialized types beyond the basic set, such as long long for larger integer ranges, long double for extended floating-point precision, and complex number types added in later C standards. They exist to handle cases where the basic types are not large or precise enough. Availability and exact behavior of some extended types can vary between compilers and standards versions.
