Data types in C++ 
Variable : A variable is a name given to the memory location that stores the data for the program. Some general rules attached with variable names are : Variable name should be unique, if we given same name to two variables, C++ would not understand which one has been referred. Variable name can be of a single letter. Variable name should begin with a letter of an alphabet or an underscore, rest of the part can contain letters, numbers and/or underscore. Variable names should not be reserved words. Variables cannot have the same name as a C++ command or a library function. Blank spaces are not allowed in variable names. Variable names are case sensitive. Unlike C we can declare a variable anywhere in the program, however we should declare it before using it in the program.
