Single Variable and a Lot of Variables

• The declaration

  int k;
  
  float f;

reserve one single integer variable called k and one single floating point variable called f.

• In scientific applications, one often needs many variables of the same type. E.g., one needs to store the value of temperatures in ten cities. This is done in C by declaring an array:

float temps[10];
