Variables

Answer

Variables are the assigned location in the memory used to store a value. This value can be changed at the time of execution of the program. A variable may be a single character or a set of characters. For example: A, B, B10, C$ etc. are some valid variables.

Variables are of two types:

1. Numeric variables
2. Alphanumeric variables

Question 2

Constants

Constants are data values that do not change at the time of execution of the program. For example: 76, -43, "Hello", etc are some constants.

Constants are of two types:

1. Numeric constants
2. Alphanumeric constants

Question 3

Numeric variables

Answer

Numeric variables are the variables that store integer and fractional (decimal) values. The numeric variables are used to perform all arithmetical operations.
For example, P, A2, N1, etc. are some valid variables.

Question 4

Alphanumeric variables

Answer
