Declaring Local Variables
Usually declared by data type and
variable name:
int itemCount;

Possible to declare multiple variables\ in

one declaration:
int itemCount, employeeNumber;
--or--
int itemCount,
employeeNumber;

Compound Assignment
Adding a value to a variable is very common
itemCount = itemCount + 40;

There is a convenient shorthand

itemCount += 40;

This shorthand works for all arithmetic

operators
itemCount -= 24;
