Form: <variable>
= <expression> Example: x = 1 x = x + 3.14 Variables themselves are
typeless. Any variable can name
any thing and be reset to any thing.
The object to which a variable refers has a type. |
Form: <variable>
= <expression>; Example: int x; x = 1; x += 1; A variable has a type,
which is specified when the variable is declared. A variable can only be assigned a value that is compatible
with its type. Values of less inclusive
types can be assigned to variables of more inclusive types. Reversing this order requires
explicit type conversion before assignment. Example: double d; d = 34; int i; i = (int)3.14 |
