C++ Tutorials

Syntax :

 datatype variable_name;

Example :

    int a;
    float f;
    // bool is the new datatype, it can stores true or false value.
    bool a;
    char c;

There is a important difference between C and C++ regarding when local variable can be declared. In c, you must declare all local variables used within a block at the start of that block. You cannot declare a variable in a block after an “action” statement has occurred.

Example :

// Incorrect in C. Ok in C++
int function()
{
    int num1;
    num1 = 10;
    /*
     won't compile as a C program
     but compiling as C++ program its OK
    */
    int num2;
    num2 = num1 * 5;

    return num2;
}
