C# 2 – Variables

C# 2 - Variables

1.  Create a new C# console project.
2.  Inside main() type the following code.

string myName = "Reymon Reyes"; //Put your name within the two double quotes.

int myAge = 25;

float myHeight = 162.62F;

decimal myWeight = 132.28M;

Console.WriteLine("My profile");

Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", myName);

Console.WriteLine("Age: {0}", myAge);

Console.WriteLine("Height: {0}", myHeight);

Console.WriteLine("Weight: {0}", myWeight);

Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.....");

Console.ReadLine();

3. Your Program.cs will now look like this.

4. Press F5 to run your code.

• Syntax for declaring a variable.
• <data type> <variable name>;
• Eg: int myAge;
• Data type can be any of the primitive types or a class.
• Variable names cannot begin with a number or any special characters although an underscore is allowed.
• Variable names are case sensitive which means myAge is different from MyAge.
• Variable names cannot be any of the reserved keywords used within C#.
• The declaration decimal myWeight = 132.28M; contains a suffix literal M to specify the value 132.28 as decimal type.
