1.5.2.How to declare a variable |
|
A variable declaration serves three purposes: |
- It defines the name of the variable.
- It defines the type of the variable (integer, real, character, etc.).
- It gives the programmer a description of the variable.
|
int answer; /* the result of our expression */
|
|
- The keyword int tells C that this variable contains an integer value.
- The variable name is answer.
- The semicolon (;) marks the end of the statement.
- The comment is used to define this variable for the programmer.
