Variable declaration in D programming

What are variables?

Variables are the names of storage locations that store data of different types upon execution of a code block.

What is a variable declaration in D programming?

The variable declaration tells a compiler that a named variable exists with a given data type. This only holds only at the time of code compilation. Variable declaration involves the defining and initializing of a variable.

Example

Let’s look at the code below:

import std.stdio;
/* variable definition: */
int w, x;
int y;
int main () {
/* Variable Initialization */
w = 30;
x = 40;
y = x + w;
writeln("Value of y is : ", y);
return 0;
}

Explanation

From the code above, we add the values of two variables:

  • Lines 3 and 4: We define all the variables we use.

  • Lines 12 to 14: We initialize our variables by assigning values to them.

  • Line 15: We print the summation of variable x and variable y.
