Variables:
Do you Really get it?
Variables are simply names used to refer to some location in memory – a location that holds a value with which we are working.
Location can hold any thing.
Its upto us to decide what it holds.
Notion
What are Data Types?
&
Why do we need them?
Data Type:
Type of data that memory location or variable will hold
Trend that you should have noticed while writing code:
Syntax
data_type v1=a1 ,v2=a2 ,.... ;
v1 = name of variable
a1 = value of variable v1
.
.
so on
Problem
How to name a variable?
Function
printf
Output
scanf
Input
Let's Formally Define it:
printf( "You can get anything printed" )
Part inside the braces is stream at least this is how we know it.
Type Specifiers:
They are more like names how computer sees them.
- '%d' for integers
- '%s' for strings
- '%f' for floats
- '%lf' for double
- '%c' for characters
Its more like Fill in the Blanks
Question
Why do we need them?
Answer : to tell computer what comes next
Syntax
printf( " some string %d some string", v1 );
in the string or characters in between double quotes %d tells the compile that this data is missing and its most likely at the end before the braces.
So now you can guess what v1 should be?
