A variable is a name given to a storage area that the program can manipulate. Every variable has a specific type to fix the size and layout of the memory. A variable may be some letters , digits and underscore 
character.
Basic variable types:
char     Typically a single octet(one byte). This is an integer type.
int        The most natural size of integer for the machine.
float     A single-precision floating point value.
double A double-precision floating point value.
void     Represents the absence of type.
Example
#include <stdio.h>
// Variable declaration:
extern int a, b;
extern int c;
extern float f;
int main ()
{
  /* variable definition: */
  int a, b;
  int c;
  float f;
  /* actual initialization */
  a = 10;
  b = 20;
  c = a + b;
  printf("value of c : %d \n", c);
  f = 70.0/3.0;
  printf("value of f : %f \n", f);
  return 0;
}
