1. Introduction​

In C#, a variable represents a storage location. A variable has a type that determines what values can be stored in this variable. Because C# is a type-safe language, the C# compiler guarantees that values stored in variables are always of the appropriate type. The value of a variable is changed through the assignment operator. The value of a variable is also changed through the use of the ++ and — operators. A variable must be definitely assigned before its value can be obtained: variables are either initially assigned or initially unassigned. An initially assigned variable has a well-defined initial value. An initially unassigned variable has no initial value.
