Lecture No 1

Variables and Data types

Variables
Variables are analogous to Buckets or

Envelopes where information can be stored.

We call buckets by names so Variables must
have names for calling.
Information stored in Variables can also be
changed.
Name of the variable is anything your name
also.

Data Types
Data types tell about what type of value our

variable want to store

It may be INT FLOAT DOUBLE CHAR STRING
Int:-It will take only integer value no value
after decimal point
Float:-It will take values after decimal point
but has less precison also known as floating
point.
Double:-Also called floating point because
decimal points flaot more precise than float

Data Types Continued

Char:-It only takes a character it is one byte

only takes only character

For examples
Int =10
Float=10.232
Double=10.32322
Char =d
Char =+

Assignment Operator
Assignment operator = is used to assign

value to a variable
Beware not used this == be cause it is
equality operator it checks the equality
between variable name and value assigned to
it.
Syntax will be
Data type variable name assignment
operator value

Variable Names
It is up to you what name you give to your variables
For examples
Int number=10;
First DATA TYPE is INT as it only accept integer which is

10
Second name of our variable is NUMBER name could be
anything here I used Number you can use your name
also
Third Assignment operator we give our variable
Number a value so after this
Number=10 our variable number can store an integer
number 10.

Some Examples
Int number=10;
Int bob=20;
Int khan=30;
Float num=10.87;
Float numbe=10.8;
Double num1=10.2321;
Double khan=10.43434;

Some Examples
Char
Char
Char
Char
Char

name=c;
ali=d;
sign=+;
bob=-
mult=*;

Note(we will discuss strings later it is also a

data type i will create full slides on strings)

Key Points For Char

Char variable can be of 1 byte means it

contain only only character

Char name=d; TRUE
Char name=d+ FALSE
Char sign=++ FALSE
Char sign=+ True
Always use this for values

Comments
Always use comments it is good programming

pratice
The benefit of commenting is that some one
who sees your code can easily understand it
For comments use
//this is my prog//
Compiler can execute your programme line by
line and ignore the comments line it does not
effect your programme performance
Use //I am a commnet//

Simple Example
In C++
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int

number=10,number1=20,add;//in
itialize variable and assign
values//
add=number+number1;//result of
these will be stored in add//
cout<<add;//for displaying//
}
Thanks to Devc++

In Java
public class JavaApplication6 {

/**
* @param args the command line
arguments

*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

int number=10,number1=20,add;

add=number+number1;

System.out.println(add);
}

}
