//* 2 - Variables Overview
int main(void)
{
    //* C is a statically typed language, meaning each variable must have a specific data type.
    //* variables can be initialized without assignment.
    int myint;
    //* then we can start assigning a value to them
    myint = 2;
    printf("%d\n", myint); //* "%d" is used to place a value of type integer inside the string. it is called the format specifier for integer

    //* we can also reassign a value to a non constant variable
    myint = 4;
    printf("%d\n", myint); //* the "\n" is used to print a new line

    //* You can also assign values at initialization directly
    char mychar = 'c';
    printf("%c", mychar); //* "%c" is the format specifier for the data type char (character)

    return 0;
}

//! Notes
/*
 * When assigning a char value, make sure to wrap the char in single quotation marks, as double quotation marks denote a string of characters, not a single character.
