Data Declarations

Data Declarations

C++ programs can use many different types of data

The most common are char (single characters), int (integers), and float (real numbers)

Data declarations are of the form:

   type name [ = value];

type is a data type (e.g. float)
name is the name you give it (e.g. Payrate)
value is an optional initial value for the variable
Examples:

char one_letter;
char first_letter = 'a';
int hours = 24;
float Payrate = 10.5;
int a, b, c;
int a = 1, b, c = 5;
