You specify a data type by adding its name to the variable definition. Separate the variable name and its data type by a colon:

  var variableName : variableDataType;
Here are some examples:

  var a : int;
  var b : String;
  var c : char;
Think of the colon as "of type." We defined above the variable a of type int, the variable b of type String, and the variable c of type char. Notice that data types are case-sensitive. The String data type starts with a capital letter. For example, if you try string instead of String, the JScript .NET compiler (jsc.exe) will complain, and will not compile your code.
