Variables are containers for storing data values, like numbers and characters.
In C, there are different types of variables (defined with different keywords), for example:
int - stores integers (whole numbers), without decimals, such as 123 or -
123 float - stores floating point numbers, with decimals, such as 19.99 or - 19.99
char - stores single characters, such as 'a' or 'B'. Characters are
surrounded by single quotes
Declaring (Creating) Variables
To create a variable, specify the type and assign it a value: Syntax type variableName = value; Where type is one of C types (such as int), and variableName is the name of the variable (such as x or myName). The equal sign is used to assign a value to the variable. So, to create a variable that should store a number, look at the following example: Example Create a variable called myNum of type int and assign the value 15 to it: int myNum = 15; You can also declare a variable without assigning the value, and assign the value later: Example // Declare a variable int myNum;
