declare a local variable in C

int myVariable;

This code declares an integer (whole number) variable called “myVariable”. The “int” is the keyword used to declare the type of variable, and the name of the variable is set to “myVariable”. This variable is declared as a local variable, meaning it is only accessible within the scope it is declared in. After it is declared, it can be used in the code, assigning values to it, as well as retrieving values from it.
