Variables

Location in the memory where values can be stored


Defining variables

int a;

data type name of the variable


Defining/Declare variables

int a;

Data types
Name of variables
A variable name in C can be any valid identifier.
An identifier is a series of characters consisting of
letters (a-z, A- Z), digits (0-9) and underscores (_)
that does not begin with a digit.
Name of variables

int a1;
int 1al
int A1;
int abcdef;
int _ab;
int A1;
Name of variables

int a1; valid


int 1al invalid
int A1; valid
int abcdef; valid
int _ab; valid : but avoid
int A1; valid
Name of variables
C is case sensitive— uppercase and lowercase letters
are different in C
int a1;
int A1;

a1, A1 two different variables


Name of variables: multiword
int print_sum;
use '_' as the word separator
Name of variables: Convention
Use all lower case letters
Assigning variables
a = 2;
2
Assign 2 to a

Assignment operator
Initializing variables
int a; //defining variable a
a=2; //assigning 2 to a

Combine variable definition and


variable assignment
int a = 2;

initializing variable a
Declaring multiple variables in
single statement
int a; int a, b;
int b; Data type same

int a; int a;
float b; Data type different float b;
Declare variables
before they are
used
Arithmetic Operation
int sum;
sum = a + b;

Arithmetic operator
Arithmetic Operation
Printing variables
printf(“Sum %d”, sum)

Conversion specifier
Printing multiple variables in
single statement
printf(“a = %d”, a);
printf(“b = %d”, b);
printf(“sum = %d”, sum);

printf(“a = %d, b = %d, c = %d”, a, b, sum);
