What does 'designate an object' mean in C?
<p>For example,</p>

<pre><code>int x = 10;
</code></pre>

<p>we say that "<code>x</code> designates an int object which stores 10". But what does "designate" exactly mean? Does it mean <code>x</code> behaves like a label which refers to the whole chunk of memory? </p>
