Examples |
    int a;          // Declare variable "a" of type int
    a = 23;         // Assign "a" the value 23
    int b = -256;   // Declare variable "b" and assign it the value -256
    int c = a + b;  // Declare variable "c" and assign it the sum of "a" and "b"
Description | Datatype for integers, numbers without a decimal point. Integers can be as large as 2,147,483,647 and as low as -2,147,483,648. They are stored as 32 bits of information. The first time a variable is written, it must be declared with a statement expressing its datatype. Subsequent uses of this variable must not reference the datatype because Processing will think the variable is being declared again.
