C++ Variables
❮ Previous Next ❯

C++ Variables
Variables are containers for storing data values.

In C++, there are different types of variables (defined with different keywords), for
example:

• int - stores integers (whole numbers), without decimals, such as 123 or -123
• double - stores floating point numbers, with decimals, such as 19.99 or -19.99
• char - stores single characters, such as 'a' or 'B'. Char values are surrounded
by single quotes
• string - stores text, such as "Hello World". String values are surrounded by
double quotes
• bool - stores values with two states: true or false

Declaring (Creating) Variables


To create a variable, specify the type and assign it a value:

Syntax
HTML CSS JAVASCRIPT SQL PYTHON JAVA PHP HOW TO W3.CSS C

type variableName = value;

Where type is one of C++ types (such as int ), and variableName is the name of the
variable (such as x or myName). The equal sign is used to assign values to the
variable.

To create a variable that should store a number, look at the following example:

Example
Create a variable called myNum of type int and assign it the value 15:

int myNum = 15;


cout << myNum;

You can also declare a variable without assigning the value, and assign the value
later:

Example

int myNum;
myNum = 15;
cout << myNum;

Try it Yourself »

Note that if you assign a new value to an existing variable, it will overwrite the
previous value:

Example
HTML CSS JAVASCRIPT SQL PYTHON JAVA PHP HOW TO W3.CSS C

int myNum = 15; // myNum is 15


myNum = 10; // Now myNum is 10
cout << myNum; // Outputs 10

Other Types
A demonstration of other data types:

Example

int myNum = 5; // Integer (whole number without decimals)


double myFloatNum = 5.99; // Floating point number (with decimals)
char myLetter = 'D'; // Character
string myText = "Hello"; // String (text)
bool myBoolean = true; // Boolean (true or false)

You will learn more about the individual types in the Data Types chapter.

Display Variables
The cout object is used together with the << operator to display variables.

To combine both text and a variable, separate them with the << operator:

int myAge = 35;


cout << "I am " << myAge << " years old.";

Add Variables Together


To add a variable to another variable, you can use the + operator:

Example

int x = 5;
int y = 6;
int sum = x + y;
cout << sum;
