Lesson 5: Understanding declaring multiple variables and assignment operators
5.1: Declaring many variables
- To declare more than one variable of the same type, use a comma-separated list:
5.2: Assignment Operators
Assignment operators are used to assign values to variables.
In the example below, we use the assignment operator (=) to assign the value 10 to a variable called a:
