Solution

Sure, here are some examples of valid identifier names according to the naming rules of the C language:

  1. myVariable
  2. count
  3. MAX_VALUE
  4. student1
  5. _temp

Here are the rules for naming identifiers in C:

  1. The first character must be a letter or an underscore (_).
  2. The rest of the identifier can consist of letters (either in uppercase or lowercase), underscores (_), or digits (0-9).
  3. Reserved words or keywords in C (like int, while, etc.) cannot be used as identifier names.
  4. There is no limit on the length of the identifier, but only the first 31 characters are considered by most compilers.

Identifiers are names used to refer to any entity in a program. (A program can contain many entities (or building blocks) such as data types, constants, variables, functions, arrays, etc. We shall learn about them in the later sections.)An identifier is a sequence of characters. In C, identifiers can be formed by combining alphabets, digits and a special character underscore '_' .For example, consider the program given below:#include <stdio.h>void main() { printf("Hello!");}The tokens main and printf are the names of two functions and are called identifiers.Given below are the rules for creating a valid identifier in C:The first character must always be an alphabet or an underscore. The remaining characters can be a combination of one or more alphabet, digits, and underscores. No special characters except the underscore are allowed in an identifier.An identifier can be of any length. However, in old C (before C was standardized by ANSI), only the first 8 characters were considered by the compilers when the names were compared for equality. This limit was later changed to 31 characters as per the ANSI standard.Click on Live Demo to test and verify the rules for creating valid identifiers in C.Select the correct statements from the given statements.InDia is a valid identifier.Codetantra-software is a valid identifier.An identifier is a sequence of alphabet only._File123 is not a valid identifier._File124_ is not a valid identifier.
