C++ Identifiers
❮ Previous Next ❯

C++ Identifiers
All C++ variables must be identified with unique names.

These unique names are called identifiers.

Identifiers can be short names (like x and y) or more descriptive names (age, sum, totalVolume).

Note: It is recommended to use descriptive names in order to create understandable and


maintainable code:

Example

// Good
int minutesPerHour = 60;

// OK, but not so easy to understand what m actually is


int m = 60;

The general rules for naming variables are:

Names can contain letters, digits and underscores


Names must begin with a letter or an underscore (_)
Names are case-sensitive ( myVar and myvar are different variables)
Names cannot contain whitespaces or special characters like !, #, %, etc.
Reserved words (like C++ keywords, such as int ) cannot be used as names
