I have account numbers that are in the same form as SS numbers, for example, 123-12-1234 What C variable type should be sued to store these? Can a primitive type hold such ‘numbers’? A brief explanation would be great too! Thanks

What do you want to do with these numbers? You may want to store them as a string if you want to display them. You may want to store it as 3 ints if each section means something and you will be comparing them. You may want to store it as 1 int and handle formatting when you display it if you will be doing a lot of comparisons or sorting.
