To declare (create) a variable, you will specify the type, leave at least one space, then the name for the variable and end the line with a semicolon ( ; ). Java uses the keyword int for integer, double for a floating point number (a double precision number), and boolean for a Boolean value (true or false).
When you declare a variable, you should also initialize it. Two types of variable initialization exist: explicit and implicit. Variables are explicitly initialized if they are assigned a value in the declaration statement. Implicit initialization occurs when variables are assigned a value during processing.
Declaring (Creating) Variables
type variable = value; Where type is one of C++ types (such as int ), and variable is the name of the variable (such as x or myName). The equal sign is used to assign values to the variable.
Below is the basic syntax for declaring a string. char str_name[size]; In the above syntax str_name is any name given to the string variable and size is used to define the length of the string, i.e the number of characters strings will store.
You should always start variable names with a letter. You can use letters, digits, and underscores in the names of your variables. You should name your variables so that they describe the values that they store. When you name your variables, you should not include certain reserved words, such as If, For, and Then.
Declaring Variables
Before they are used, all variables have to be declared. Declaring a variable means defining its type, and optionally, setting an initial value (initializing the variable). ... Variables will roll over when the value stored exceeds the space assigned to store it. See below for an example.
What is the difference between initialization and assignment? Initialization gives a variable an initial value at the point when it is created. Assignment gives a variable a value at some point after the variable is created.
Create an Array
Arrays are used to store multiple values in a single variable, instead of declaring separate variables for each value. To declare an array, define the variable type with square brackets: string[] cars; We have now declared a variable that holds an array of strings.
The general form of declaration of a string variable is :
A declaration specifies a unique name for the entity, along with information about its type and other characteristics. In C++ the point at which a name is declared is the point at which it becomes visible to the compiler.
You can define a variable as an integer and assign a value to it in a single declaration. For example: int age = 10; In this example, the variable named age would be defined as an integer and assigned the value of 10.
A typical declaration for an array in C++ is: type name [elements]; where type is a valid type (such as int, float ...), name is a valid identifier and the elements field (which is always enclosed in square brackets [] ), specifies the size of the array.
