In programming languages, identifiers are used for identification purposes. In Java, an identifier can be a class name, method name, variable name, or label.
Rules for defining Java Identifiers

There are certain rules for defining a valid java identifier. These rules must be followed, otherwise we get compile-time error. These rules are also valid for other languages like C,C++.

The only allowed characters for identifiers are all alphanumeric characters([A-Z],[a-z],[0-9]), ‘$‘(dollar sign) and ‘_‘ (underscore).For example “geek@” is not a valid java identifier as it contain ‘@’ special character.
Identifiers should not start with digits([0-9]). For example “123geeks” is a not a valid java identifier.
Java identifiers are case-sensitive.
There is no limit on the length of the identifier but it is advisable to use an optimum length of 4 – 15 letters only.
Reserved Words can’t be used as an identifier. For example “int while = 20;” is an invalid statement as while is a reserved word. There are 53 reserved words in Java.

Reserved Words

Identifiers are used by symbol tables in various analyzing phases(like lexical, syntax, semantic) of a compiler architecture.

Variable in Java is a data container that saves the data values during Java program execution. Every variable is assigned a data type that designates the type and quantity of value it can hold. Variable is a memory location name of the data.

A variable is a name given to a memory location. It is the basic unit of storage in a program.

The value stored in a variable can be changed during program execution.
A variable is only a name given to a memory location, all the operations done on the variable effects that memory location.
In Java, all the variables must be declared before use

1. Datatype: Type of data that can be stored in this variable.

2. Dataname: Name was given to the variable.

In this way, a name can only be given to a memory location. It can be assigned values in two ways:

Variable Initialization
Assigning value by taking input

How to initialize variables?

It can be perceived with the help of 3 components that are as follows:

datatype: Type of data that can be stored in this variable.
variable_name: Name given to the variable.
value: It is the initial value stored in the variable.
