Variables To compute the sum and the difference of x and y in a program, we must first declare what kind of data will be assigned to them. After we assign values to them, we can compute their sum and difference. ©TheMcGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Variables When a declaration, such as int x, y; is made, memory locations to store data values for x and y are allocated. These memory locations are called variables, and x and y are the names we associate with the memory locations. ©TheMcGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Variables A variable has three properties: A memory location to store the value. The type of data stored in the memory location. The name used . | Chapter 3 Numerical Data Chapter 3 Objectives After you have read and studied this chapter, you should be able to Select proper types for numerical data.
