A data type is an abstraction that is applied to a chunk of memory to see that piece of memory as an area that can represent a value. For example, a single byte consists of 8 bits of memory. In the following diagram, each bit is represented by an underscore (_):
A sparse file: The empty bytes don't need to be saved, thus they can be represented by metadata. In computer science, a sparse file is a type of computer file that attempts to use file system space more efficiently when the file itself is mostly empty. This is achieved by writing brief information (metadata) representing the empty blocks to disk instead of the actual empty space which makes up the block, using less disk space.
