Explain naming rules of variable:

A variable is a data name that may be used to store a data value.  A variable may take different values at different times during execution. A variable name can be chosen by programmer in a meaningful way so as to reflect its functions or mature in the program. 
Rules For Naming:
1.    Variable name may consists of letters, digits, and the underscore (_) character. Any special character should not be allowed.
2.    They must begin with a letter.  Some system permits underscore as the first character.
3.    ANSI standard recognizes a length 31 characters.  However, the length should not be normally more than 8 characters, since only the first 8 characters are treated as significant by many compilers.
4.    Uppercase and lowercase are significant.  That is, the variable Total is not same as total or TOTAL.
5.    The variable name should not be a keyword.
6.    White space is not allowed.
