Variables

Named storage locations that hold values in memory

Data Types

Define what kind of data a variable can store (int, double, string, etc.)

Memory

Variables occupy space in memory with unique addresses

Learning Tips & Best Practices

🎯 Naming Conventions

Use descriptive names like 'studentAge' instead of 'a'. Follow camelCase convention.

🔧 Choose Right Types

Use int for whole numbers, double for decimals, string for text, bool for true/false.

⚡ Initialize Variables

Always initialize variables with values to avoid undefined behavior.

🎪 Understand Scope

Variables are only accessible within their scope. Global scope = everywhere, function scope = within function, block scope = within .
