Question

Define a variable to hold each of the following pieces of data. Assign the data to the variable once created.

a) 3.14
b) C
c) Hi
d) true
e) 1,295,000

Answer 1

Variables can be defined and assigned with specific data types corresponding to the given value: floating-point for decimal numbers, char for single characters, string for textual data, bool for boolean values, and int for large integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To define a variable for each of the given pieces of data and assign the data to the variable, we first need to determine the appropriate data type for each piece of data. Languages such as Python, Java, or C++ have different syntax and data types, but I will use a generalized pseudo-code approach here:

• float pi = 3.14; // For a decimal number (floating-point value)
• char letter = 'C'; // For a single character
• string greeting = 'Hi'; // For a string of text
• bool isTrue = true; // For a boolean value (true or false)
• int population = 1295000; // For a large integer

In actual programming, the specific syntax for defining and assigning variables will depend on the programming language being used.
