Variables
So hola guys....What's up? Hope you all are doing well!
So i know you came here to learn programming and most of you can be
here to utilize your time in programming during this pandemic! And
if You are not from IT sector then you can go through
this blog
to learn some basics of computer.
You can also find the pdf of computer basics here
So..let's start!
Variables
is not a big word I guess. Let's take an
illustration to understand this.
Consider that you have books, a lot, where would you store it?
You will say that you will store it in some container type
thing,right?
Well, in the same manner variables can be defined.
Variables are the type of storage container where you can store
different types of data.
Now, again a data can be of different types. It can be mainly a
number and a string.

Following are the examples of some very common data types used in
C:
-
char: The most basic data type in C. It stores a single
character and requires a single byte of memory in almost all
compilers.
Example: Any alphabet whether uppercase or lowercase
-
int: As the name suggests, an int variable is used to store an
integer. Example:any integer value from -infinity to
+infinity,-388,+5893,etc.
-
float: It is used to store decimal numbers (numbers with
floating point value) with single precision. Example:Any
floating point number,like 3.5,7.43,949.4997 etc.
-
double: It is used to store decimal numbers (numbers with
floating point value) with double precision.
Example:46.583987598,
9589.3885895899,etc
Example: Any alphabet whether uppercase or lowercase
Example:46.583987598,
9589.3885895899,etc
