Types of C Variables
Variables are containers for storing data values.
We have different types of variables in C Programming language.
- int- stores integers, such as 123 or -123
- float- stores floating point numbers, such as 19.99 or -19.99
- char- stores single characters, like as 'q' or 'd'. Char values are surrounded by single quotes
Code:
#include
int main()
{
int myInt = 15;
float myfloat = 4.7;
char myChar = 'a';
printf("%d\n", myInt);
printf("%f\n", myfloat);
printf("%c\n", myChar);
return 0;
}
Output
15
4.700000
a
Explanation:
In the main function,we declared int named myInt and assign value 15 to it (By using the syntax: type variableName = value;).
To print out variables in C, we use format specifiers
This is starts with a percentage sign %,
followed by a character.
For example:
%d:for integers.
%f:for float.
%c for char.
