What is Variable?


In our School life , we have seen something like a + b = c where,
                                                                                 a = 8,
                                                                                 b = 2 , so c = ?

Well we can solve this mathematical problem , right ? But what if we want to solve the same problem throughout any Programming language , then something called "var" came to picture . So take a seat , and let's start ..

  In Programming language, if we want to adding two digits for example 3 + 5 and want to print it , we can print also .. But we have to store his two digits somewhere , right ? Let we store 3 into x , and 5 into y . So x = 3 , and y = 5 .But how machine will know or can recognize them ? For this reason variable is came .

   Variable is a factor or element which can store or vary any type of value , it maybe floating type or character type etc . So should we called it Variable or Variable , it will be Variable .
 
  Now in different Programming languages it comes into different way . 
For example : if we go through C language , we have to mention type of the value which is nothing but some predefined keywords , let's see an example below :  


In the above example , we have declared a variable called "a" , and this is integer type variable so we have written the keyword "int" which is present in C library . And then we have initialized it with value 5 .
 Also I have shown u some common datatypes in C .

   In case of JavaScript,we just have to put a keyword called "var" . But we don't have to put data type.Let's see with an example below :


   But in case of PHP , we don't have to mention datatype before declaring it , Cause PHP is so smart after all ..We just have to put "$" sign before variable name. Let's see with an example below:



 So there are many Programming languages and their are different way to declare a variable . I have just given example of C ,JavaScript and PHP .

  So Variable's value is not permanent , I mean we can modify anytime depending on situation .For example , $a = 5 ; so now "a" is holding value 5 but if we want to store 7 into "a" then it will replace with value 5 .But what if we want to initialize a value permanently according to Program requirement , in that case "Constant" is comes into picture  . Let's just see an example below : 


 Here "const" is a predefined keyword which indicates PI ( variable ) is a costant type of double type variable. Floating is nothing but a data type .
So I hope you understand today's topic .Practice more..

What is Class and Object in Oops || definition of Classes & Objects

We can make a program in Procedure oriented like C . But when C++ comes and says about Object Oriented Programming Language ( Oops ) , then Class & Object comes into picture . If we want to make a program in object oriented,then we must have to know about Class & Object which is main attributes of Oops . If you don't know much about it, don't worry . Take a seat , and let's start .   Class is a blueprint of Object where Object is a real world entity . Now whoever reading this blog , consider that I am a Object , that's great .. Now let's see with an example below then will discuss rest   ..       So if I consider Human as a Class & myself as an Object , then its definite I must be some properties and behavior .. So here we can say skin color , age , eye color , height etc as properties of myself . I am 22 year's old so 22 year's is an property and I can talk so here talk() is an function ( behavior ) of myself . So there are s...

What is a tag or anchor tag in HTML ?

We all can create a HTML page , right ? But What If I want to connect two HTML pages ? Good question.. Don't Worry ,We will discuss about it now .So please take a seat . Let's start .   So , when we want to connect two pages then <a> tag comes in picture.Through this tag we can connect between two HTML document (pages) ,we also can connect an external image and also we can put any website's link.Well ,but where to put the links and also what is <a> tag .  Well , <a> tag is nothing but an element is called anchor element .And it has a attribute is "href (hyper reference)" where we can put the address or the link that where we want to go or we connect with that particular page . But how ..... That I will show you too .. Suppose , we have two pages in a website , is " HOME " and " CONTACT " . So I am gonna show the linking process below with an example :   So , in the above example , we can see two pages...
