CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 66

Which of the following data types would a telephone number formatted as XXX-XXX-XXXX be considered?

Answer options

• A. Numeric
• B. Date
• C. Float
• D. Text

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a telephone number is typically treated as a string of characters rather than a number due to its formatting and potential inclusion of non-numeric characters like dashes. The other options are incorrect because 'Numeric', 'Date', and 'Float' do not accurately represent the nature of a telephone number.
