C++ - Variables

A variable in simple terms is a storage place which has some memory allocated to it.

Think of it like a box where you can put your data into.

Terms

Declaration:- specify variable name and it’s data type.
Definition:- Declaration + assign memory to it.
Initialization:- put value into the box.
Datatype:- size of the box
Variable Name: name of the box.

How to Create a Variable?

• First Method

int a = 12;

/*
int = datatype
a = variable name
12 = value
*/

• Second Method

int a{12}; // called uniform initialization

• Third Method

int a(12); // called constructor initialization

Note:- All these three called definition + initialization of a variable.
