Variable Type Declaration
Variable Type Declaration
Declaring a variable type tells the compiler how much memory to allocate for that variable. This is crucial for efficient storage and access.
Invalid Variable Name
Invalid Variable Name
A variable name cannot start with a number in most programming languages. Names must begin with a letter or underscore.
C Integer (int)
C Integer (int)
In C programming, the 'int' data type is used to store whole numbers (positive, negative, or zero) without decimal points.

Study Notes
Variables
- A variable is a storage location with an associated symbolic name.
- Examples of valid variable names:
myVariable,_variable,variable1. - Invalid variable name:
123variable(starts with a number). - Declaring a variable type:
- Specifies the type of data the variable can hold.
- Allocates memory for the variable.
- Does not specify the variable's value or name.
Data Types
- In C programming,
intis the data type used to store whole numbers. - Other data types:
float,char,double.
Variable Scope
- Global variables can be accessed from any part of the program.
- Local variables are declared within a function and can only be accessed within that function.
Expressions
- An expression is a combination of operators and operands that evaluates to a value.
- Examples of expressions:
x = 5 + 3 * 2;,10 % 3. - In an expression, parentheses define the order of operations.
Operators
- Arithmetic operators:
+,++,*,/. %is the modulus operator, which finds the remainder of a division operation.!=is the "not equal to" operator in a conditional statement.
Conditionals
- The
ifstatement is used to execute code based on a condition. - The
elsestatement executes a block of code if the condition is false. - In an
if-else if-elseladder, if none of the conditions are true, the code in theelseblock is executed.
