If variables can be declared using the equals operator, why is 'int' used?

Thanks.

Variables can't be declared using the equals operator. At least they can't in C/C++. You've misunderstood something I guess.

Example:

// this means: variable "a" of integer type, initial value "3"
int a = 3; 
// quite the same, just longer:
int b;
b = 3;

But, they can be changed with just an equals, right?

Sorry, this is quite different from the only language that I know, BBC BASIC (excluding assembly).
