Basic C Programming - Variables

What is variable declaration in C?

• Variable declaration in C is the process of specifying the data type and name of a variable before it is used in the program.

• Variable declaration in C is only required for functions

• Variable declaration in C is not necessary

• Variable declaration in C is the process of assigning a value to a variable

Explain the scope of variables in C programming.

• Variables in C programming have only one scope, which is determined by the data type

• The scope of variables in C programming refers to the region of the program where the variable is accessible, including local, global, and block scope.

• The scope of variables in C programming refers to the size of the variable's memory allocation

• The scope of variables in C programming is limited to the main function

What are constants in C programming?

• Variables that can be changed at any point in the program

• Data types that are not supported in C programming

• Functions that return different values each time they are called

• Fixed values that cannot be altered during program execution.

Differentiate between global and local variables in C.

• Local variables can be accessed from any part of the program, while global variables are limited to the function they are declared in.

• Global variables have a higher scope than local variables, allowing them to be used in any function.

• Global variables are only used in main functions, while local variables are used in sub-functions.

• Global variables are accessible throughout the program, while local variables are limited to the scope of the function in which they are declared.

What are the naming conventions for variables in C?

• Variable names in C should start with a number

• Variable names in C can contain spaces

• Variable names in C should follow the convention of starting with a letter or underscore, followed by letters, digits, or underscores. They should not be a keyword or contain special characters.

• Variable names in C should be all uppercase

How are variables declared in C?

• By using a random keyword

• By specifying the data type followed by the variable name

• By assigning a value to it directly

• By omitting the data type

Discuss the importance of variable scope in C programming.

• Variable scope in C programming is important for managing memory efficiently and preventing naming conflicts.

• Variable scope in C programming causes compatibility issues with other programming languages

• Variable scope in C programming is irrelevant and can be ignored

• Variable scope in C programming leads to faster execution times

Why are constants used in C programming?

• Constants are used to define fixed values that do not change during program execution.

• Constants are used to confuse programmers

• Constants are used to make code less readable

• Constants are used to slow down program execution

Give an example of a global variable in C.

• char globalVar = 'A';

• int globalVar = 10;

• double globalVar = 10.5;

• float globalVar = 10.0;

Provide a scenario where using local variables in C is beneficial.

• Local variables in C are beneficial for sharing data across multiple functions

• Local variables in C are beneficial for temporary data storage within a specific function or block of code.

• Local variables in C are beneficial for global data storage

• Local variables in C are beneficial for storing data permanently
