Rules to declare a Variable

To Declare any variable in C language you need to follow rules and regulation of C Language, which is given below;
  • Every variable name should start with alphabets or underscore (_).
  • No spaces are allowed in variable declaration.
  • Except underscore (_) no other special symbol are allowed in the middle of the variable declaration (not allowed -> roll-no, allowed -> roll_no).
  • Maximum length of variable is 8 characters depend on compiler and operation system.
  • Every variable name always should exist in the left hand side of assignment operator (invalid -> 10=a; valid -> a=10;).
  • No keyword should access variable name (int for <- invalid because for is keyword).
Note: In a c program variable name always can be used to identify the input or output data.

This is the process of allocating sufficient memory space for the data in term of variable.
