variable declatration

[kirushgiri]

in c programming a variable declare in between program or some place in program what keyword should we used ?

See the section "Using variables" in the tutorial.

You don't need an extra keyword for declaring a variable, just <type of variable> <name of variable>.

Depending on the location of the declaration the variable will have a specific storage class.

Beginning with C99 selection- and iteration-statements (if, switch, for, while) are considered as blocks and thus the following is also valid:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    /* body of loop */
}

I think that in C we declare variables at the start of the program.

no not really. it depends on what you want to do with them.

You mean that we can declare a variable at the middle of the main for example?Like C++??

Yes, when compiling with respect to the 1999 edition of the C standard, or later. Besides, even if you are compiling with respect to C89/C90, you would still be declaring variables at the start of blocks like the start of a function, not just "the start of the program" (as in at global scope or at the start of the main function).
