Yep. var automatically figures out what type of data you initialize it to, but you can't just declare it.

// works
var numberVariableName = 5;
var stringVariableName = "Aayush Mitra";

// doesn't work
var varWithoutValue;

You can read more about it here

Hope it helped!

We need to give a variable it's type, string, integer, or double.
