Lesson 6 ICT 1

The document discusses data types and variables in C programming. It identifies the basic data types in C as integers, floating-point numbers, characters, and variables. Integers represent whole numbers, floating-point numbers can have fractional parts, and characters represent single character symbols. Variables provide temporary storage for values and have naming rules like only including letters, numbers, and underscores, and not beginning with a number or using keywords. The document also provides examples of declaring different data types and variables in C code.
