# Variables in SRON

Variable is an alias to the memory address which contains your data.

```
To declare a variable, you have to specify the type of variable 
first, then the variable name followed by value.

- Syntax
     datatype variable = value
     or
     datatype variable
```

***

\
If you don't know what the type of value could be then you can use ***'Any'*** keyword, like this:

```js
    Any x = [1,2,3,4,5]
```

Below is a given code to declare variables:

```js
{
    name : Main

    Int a= 10, Any b= [1,2,3,4,5]

    Double x= 12.345, Char y= 'S'

    @ declaring a multiline string...
    String multi_str = "Hello, this is
    Saksham Rapid Object Notation."

    @ it is not neccessary to assign a value
    Int X, Double Y, List lst
}
```

## Variable Naming Rules

### Before naming a variable or even a function, you should follow some rules:

* The name of the variable must not be a keyword.
* Should start with an alphabet or underscore 
* Should contain only alphabets, underscores, and numbers.
* Its length must be less than 32.
