Variables in C#

Variables play a crucial role in programming, including C#. They are used to store and manipulate data within a program. In C#, variables must be declared before they can be used. The declaration process includes specifying the variable's name and its data type.

Let's explore variables in C#, their usage, and the different types of data types they can have.

Usage of Variables:

Variables serve several purposes in programming. They allow us to store data that can be used and manipulated throughout the program. Variables enable us to perform calculations, make decisions, and store user input.

They also facilitate communication between different parts of the program by passing values from one variable to another. Additionally, variables can hold temporary values or results of complex calculations.

Declaring Variables:

In C#, variables are declared using the following syntax:

<data_type> <variable_name>;

Here, <data_type> represents the type of data the variable can store, and <variable_name> is the name given to the variable. 

For example:

int yearOfBirth; // Declaration of an integer variable named 'yearOfBirth'
yearOfBirth = 1990; // Assigning a value of 1990 to the 'yearOfBirth' variable

This declares a variable named 'yearOfBirth' of type 'int'. However, the variable remains uninitialized until a value is assigned to it.
