PythoniC Identifiers

PythoniC Identifiers are the same as C Identifiers.

“Identifiers” or “symbols” are the names you supply for variables, types, functions, and labels in your program. Identifier names must differ in spelling and case from any keywords. You cannot use keywords as identifiers; they are reserved for special use. You create an identifier by specifying it in the declaration of a variable, type, or function. In this example, result is an identifier for an integer variable, and main and print are identifier names for functions.

C code

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int result;
    if(result != 0) {
        printf( "Bad file handle\n" );
    }
    return 0;
}

PythoniC Code

import stdio

def main() -> int:
    int result
    if result != 0:
        print( "Bad file handle" )
    return 0

Once declared, you can use the identifier in later program statements to refer to the associated value.
