2.14 INITIALIZING VARIABLES

Variables declared can be assigned or initialized using assignment operator ‘=’. e declaration and

initialization can also be done in the same line.

Syntax:

variable_name = constant;

or

data_type varaible_name= constant;

Example:

x=5; where x is an integer variable.

Example:

int y=4;

Example:

int x,y,z;

e third example as cited above for decla-

ration of variables is also a valid statement.

Illustration of the initialization of a vari-

able is shown in Figures 2.6 and 2.7.

In Figure 2.7, the variable z is assigned a value 1, and z

then assigns its value to y and again y to x. us, initialization ...
