C programming tutorial for absolute beginners lesson 3 - Variables in C programming 

Certainly! In C, a *variable* is a user-assigned name associated with a memory location. Here are the key points about C variables:
1. **Declaration**: When you declare a variable, you tell the compiler about its existence, specifying its name and data type. For example:
```c
int myNumber; // Integer variable
char myChar; // Character variable
```
2. **Definition**: In the definition of a C variable, the compiler allocates memory and assigns some initial value (usually garbage) to it. For instance:
```c
int definedVar; // Defined variable (contains garbage value)
```
3. **Initialization**: Initialization assigns a meaningful value to the variable. You can do this during declaration or separately:
```c
int iniVar = 25; // Initialized variable
```
Remember that C is a strongly typed language, so you must specify the data type before using a variable¹. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! 😊
