title: Dynamic variable declaration in C
body: <p>I'm a ruby developer and its been long time since I've coded in C. I want to use a datatype in C which behaves like a symbol.</p>
  <p>Is this possible?</p>
  <ul>
  <li><p>Program asks user for name</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>User replies - &quot;foobar&quot;</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>Program declares an integer with the same name i.e.</p>
  <pre><code>int foobar;
  </code></pre>
  </li>
  </ul>
