DECLARING A VARIABLE
Logic Formulation
VARIABLE
● Used to store piece of information
to be retrieved, used, and process
later.
● Must be declared before it can be
used.
● Can be initialized to have an initial
value.

DATA TYPES
Logic Formulation
DATA TYPES
string Collection of characters that is used represent a text.
Whole number (no decimal part). Can be negative or positive.
int (integer)
(e.g. Age)
float Number with decimal part (e.g. Money)
bool (boolean) Logical data type that can have only the values true or false.
Collection of fixed number of components (elements),
Array
wherein all components should have the same data type.
EXAMPLES
string name = michael
string name = “michael”
string name = “michael123”
string name = “michael123” barb
EXAMPLES
int number = 50
int number = “50”
int number = -50
int number = 50 + 10
int number = 50.00
EXAMPLES
float number = 25.0
float number = “25.0”
float number = -25.00
float number = 25.00 + 10.0
float number = 25
INT and FLOAT

“mike” “barb”
string name name = barb

“mike” “barb” “mike” + “barb”
string name name = mikebarb

( + ) – concatenator, used to
concatenate or combine string values
STRING
“mike” “barb” “mike” - “barb”

BOOLEAN OPERATOR
Using the OR operator, we can create a compound expression
OR
that is true when either of two conditions are true.
Using the AND operator, we can create a compound expression
AND
that is true only when both of the conditions are true.
Using the NOT operator, we can reverse the truth value of an
NOT
entire expression, from true to false or false to true.
BOOLEAN OPERATOR
LOGICAL OPERATOR
== Exactly equal to 12 == 12 (true), “one” == “one” (true), 10 == 10.00 (false)
< Less than 3 < 5 (true), 5 < 3 (false), 4 < 4 (false), 3 < 3.5 (invalid)
> Greater than 3 > 5 (false), 5 > 3 (true), 4 > 4 (false), 3 > 3.5 (invalid)
<= Less than equal to 3 <= 5 (true), 5 <= 3 (false), 4 <= 4 (true), 3 <= 3.5 (invalid)
>= Greater than equal to 3 >= 5 (false), 5 >= 3 (true), 4 >= 4 (true), 3 <= 3.5 (invalid)
3 != 5 (true), 5 != 3 (true), 4 != 4 (false), 3 != 3.5 (invalid)
!= Not equal to

VARIABLE ASSIGNMENT
Logic Formulation
VARIABLE ASSIGNMENT
● Not all variable stay the same. A variable can
change anytime.
● Not all variable stay the same. A variable can
change anytime.
● We use the equal sign ( = ) operator to assign a
value to a variable.
● Assignment happens inside a process of
variable initialization.
VARIABLE ASSIGNMENT
IMPORTANT NOTE:
( = ) operator is different from mathematics. Equals
does not mean they are equal. Equal means you want to
update the left-hand side value using the right hand
side value.
● Age = 20 means age value is now 20. It
doesn't mean they are equal.
● Age == 20 means we are checking if both sides
are equal.
EXAMPLES
20 = 20 invalid
20 == 20 valid true
20 == “twenty” valid false
“twenty” == “twenty” valid true
year = 2022 year is now 2022
