1. Understanding Variables in C#
As mentioned earlier by Mytour, a variable is the name of a memory location used to store data. The value of a variable can be changed and reused multiple times. Variables make it easy for users to identify memory locations.
Available variable types in C# include:
- Variable Type Example
- Decimal Variable decimal
- Boolean Variable True or False as assigned.
- Integral Variable int, char, byte, short, long
- Floating point Variable float or double
- Nullable Variable Nullable data type
Here's how you declare variables in C#:
type variable_list;
To make it clearer, you can refer to the example variable declarations below.
Example:
int i, j;
double d;
float f;
char ch;
Where: i, j, d, f are variables and int, double, float, char are data types.
Here are the corresponding values for the variable declarations above:
int i=2,j=4; //declaring 2 variable of integer type
float f=40.2;
char ch='B';
2. Some rules when defining variables
- A variable can consist of letters, digits, and underscores.
- Variable names must begin with a letter or an underscore, and cannot be a digit.
- Variable names cannot contain spaces.
- Variable names cannot be reserved keywords, such as char, float, ... .
Examples of valid variable names:
int x;
int _x;
int k20;
Examples of invalid variable names:
int 4;
int x y;
int double;
3. Examples of variables in C#
Based on the data type, variables are used to store specific values. For example, a variable of type String is used to store a string value.
Another example is if we have an Integer variable, arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction can be performed on the variable. You can declare multiple variables in a program.
Below is an example of declaring multiple variables of different data types. In the example below, we will define 2 variables, one for the String type and one for the Integer type. The values of these variables will be displayed on the console. For each data type, we will modify the main function in the Program.cs file.
In the code snippet above:
- A variable of type String is declared. The variable name is 'message', and the value of the variable is 'The value is'.
- A variable of type Integer (Int32) is declared. The variable name is 'val', and the value of the variable is 30.
- Finally, the Console.write command is used to output the values of the String and Integer variables.
If you input the correct code snippet above and the program executes successfully, the output will be displayed.
The output result appears as follows:
- From the output, you can see the values of both string and integer variables displayed on the console.
- Operators are used to perform operations on values of different data types. For example, to add 2 numbers, use the + operator.
