1) Data is a collection of raw facts that can be numeric, character, or boolean values. Variables are used to store data in memory locations and are given a specific datatype. 2) A datatype specifies the type of data stored in a variable and how much memory is required. Common datatypes include integer, floating point, character, boolean, and string. 3) Variables must follow certain naming conventions like starting with a lowercase letter and not being keywords. The = operator is used to assign a value to a variable during variable initialization or assignment.

variables and Datatypes:-

Q)what is Data?
Data is collection of rawfacts
Data

numeric character boolean

integer floatingpoint SC GC ANC

Q)what is Datatype?
Datatype specifies the type of data that we store in the memory
i.e how much memory is required was decided by datatype
Q)where the Memory was allocated for data?
The memory for the data will allocate on Ram
Q)what is variable?
variable is the name given for a particular memory location
Q)what is the purpose of variable?
The purpose of variable is to store the value
syn to declare variable:-
datatype varname;
Q)what is variable declaration?
Declaring the variable without assigning the value is called as variable
declaration
int x;
Q)what is variable initialization?
assigning the value to the variable at the time of declaration is called as
variable
initialization
int x=10;
Q)what is variable assignment?
assigning the value to the variable after declaration or after initialization
is called as variable assignment
int x; int x=10;
x=10; x=20;
Rules to be followed while declaring variable:-
1. variablename must not consists of spaces
int emp no; invalid
2. variable name must not be a number
int 10; invalid
3. variable name must start with lowercase character
int empno; valid
4. variablename must not be a keyword
keyword is a reserved word which have a special meaning
int if; invalid
5. variablename must not be null,true,false
int true; invalid
6. variablename must not consists of special characters except _
int emp_no; valid
int emp?no; invalid
7. we cannot store multiple values in a single variable
int x=10,20; invalid
8. whenever we modify the variable value then the previous value will be erased
int x=10;
x=20;
x=30;
9. = is called as assignment operator which is used to assign the value to the
variable
LHS of = operator consider as variable
RHS of = operator consider as value

int x=10; x is variable 10 is value


int y=x; y is variable the value of x i.e 10 was assigned to y
Q)what is Datatype?
Datatype specifies the type of data that we store in variable
Datatype is used to create variable
Data

+19 digit no
float 4 bytes ---------------- float a=2.3f;
double 8bytes --------------- double d=8.4;
char 2bytes --------------- char ch='a';
String ----- ----------------
String s="sathya";
