To change the value of a variable, you use the
assignment operator, =
. Three assignment statements appear
in the following program:
#includemain ( ) { int result, height = 11, width = 9, length = 40; result = height; result = result * width; result = result * length; cout << "The volume of the box car is "; cout << result; cout << endl; } --- Result --- The volume of the box car is 3960
Of course, this program is a bit awkwardthe only reason to split the computation of volume into three separate statements is to demonstrate that a variable can be assigned and then reassigned.
