C Variables - Examples
Real-Life Example
Often in our examples, we simplify variable names to match their data type (myInt
or myNum for int types, myChar for char types,
and so on). This is done to avoid confusion.
However, if you want a real-life example of how variables can be used, take a look at the following, where we have made a program that stores different data of a college student:
Example
// Student data
int studentID = 15;
int studentAge = 23;
float
studentFee = 75.25;
char studentGrade = 'B';
// Print variables
printf("Student id: %d\n", studentID);
printf("Student age: %d\n",
studentAge);
printf("Student fee: %f\n", studentFee);
printf("Student
grade: %c", studentGrade);

Calculate the Area of a Rectangle
In this real-life example, we create a program to calculate the area of a rectangle (by multiplying the length and width):
Example
// Create integer variables
int length = 4;
int width = 6;
int
area;
// Calculate the area of a rectangle
area = length * width;
// Print the variables
printf("Length is: %d\n", length);
printf("Width is: %d\n", width);
printf("Area of the rectangle is: %d",
area);
