🧾 Java: Declare Multiple Variables – Clean and Efficient Code
In real-world programming, you’ll often need to create multiple variables of the same type. Java gives you powerful, compact syntax to do this efficiently — and at GoNimbus, we show you how to use it like a pro.
🔁 Declare Several Variables in One Line
Instead of writing repetitive lines for variables of the same type:
int math = 80;
int science = 85;
int english = 90;
You can declare and assign them together using commas:
int math = 80, science = 85, english = 90;
🖥️ Output example:
System.out.println(math + science + english); // Output: 255
📌 Syntax:
dataType var1 = value1, var2 = value2, var3 = value3;
This is cleaner, saves space, and improves readability.
🎯 Assign Same Value to Multiple Variables
Need to initialize multiple variables with the same value?
int a, b, c;
a = b = c = 100;
System.out.println(a + b + c); // Output: 300
⚠️ In this case, assignment is evaluated right to left. So,
c
gets 100, thenb = c
, thena = b
.
👩💻 GoNimbus Practice Example
public class MultiVariableDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int java = 95, python = 90, sql = 85;
System.out.println("Total Score: " + (java + python + sql));
int a, b, c;
a = b = c = 50;
System.out.println("Sum of equal values: " + (a + b + c));
}
}
🖥️ Output:
Total Score: 270
Sum of equal values: 150
🧠 Why Use This Approach?
✅ Cleaner syntax — especially when declaring configuration variables, scores, or counters
✅ Less repetition — reduces the chance of typos
✅ Better for grouped logic — if variables belong to the same context, group them together
❗ Pro Tips from GoNimbus
- 🔤 Works with all data types (
int
,float
,char
,boolean
, etc.) - ✅ Use this format only when it improves clarity — avoid overloading one line with too much logic
- 🔐 Avoid assigning same value unless it’s logically valid (e.g., all scores aren’t always the same)
