1 Variable Names

The C programming language has specific rules for naming variables: - Internal variable names can be up to 63 characters long, while external names can be up to 31 characters. - Variable names cannot start with a number but can contain alphanumeric characters and underscores. Names beginning with underscores should be avoided to prevent conflicts. - Variable declarations cannot use C keywords like int or float as the variable name. This will cause a compile-time error. - Variable names are case-sensitive, so variables like ThisIsVariableName and ThisIsVariablename would be treated as two separate variables.
