Declarations
This section describes what the basic data types and specifiers are and how
variables can be declared using those types. In C all the variables should be
declared before they are used. They can be defined inside a function (local) or
outside all functions (global). This will affect the visibility and life of the variables.
A declaration consists of a type qualifier and a type specifier, and is followed by a list
of one or more variables of that type.
For example:
int a,b,c,d;
mybit e,f;
mybyte g[3][2];
char *h;
colors j;
struct data_record data[10];
static int i;
extern long j;
Variables can also be declared along with the definitions of the special types.
For example:
enum colors{red, green=2,blue}i,j,k; // colors is the enum type and
i,j,k
//are variables of that type
