Which of the following variable statements does not only declare the variable but also define it?
Correct answer: A. Assignment
- A. Assignment
- B. Compiling
- C. Linking
- D. Declaration
Explanation
Assigning a value to a variable declaration initializes the variable and defines its state in the program. This is the process of creating and setting the initial value of a variable. In conclusion, only assignment initializes a variable with a value, thus defining it. The other options involve different stages of the development process that do not define variables themselves.
