Variables
Step 2: Initialize a Variable
After we declare a variable, we can give it a value!
Suppose that we have declared an int variable called score, to set it to 0, we can simply write:
- The
scoreis the name of the variable. - The
=indicates assignment. - The
0is the value you want to store inside the variable.
Note: In C++, a single equal sign = does not really mean “equal”. It means “assign”. In the code above, we are assigning the score variable a value of 0.
