Alice is working on a software project that needs to store the number of times a user clicks a button. The count is not expected to exceed 1000. Which data type would be the most efficient for Alice to use to store this information?
Alice should use the 'Integer' data type to store the number of clicks. Integers are whole numbers without a fractional component, which fits the need since you cannot have a fraction of a click. They are also efficient in terms of memory usage for small ranges of numbers, which makes them suitable for counts and tallies that do not require large ranges or decimal places.
