What does the program print to the monitor?

Answer:

The variable contains: 123

The program prints out the same thing as the first example program. However, this program did not initialize the variable and so had to put a value into it later.

Assignment Statement Syntax

Assignment statements look like this:

variableName  =  expression ;

The equal sign = is the assignment operator.
variableName is the name of a variable that has been declared previously in the program.
expression is a collection of characters that calls for a value to be calculated.

Here are some example assignment statements (assume that the variables have already been declared):

total = 3 + 5;

price = 34.56;

tax = total*0.05;

In the source file, the variable must be declared before any assignment statement that uses that variable.
