How do you declare a variable in BeanShell?

You can declare a variable exactly as in standard Java, with an explicit type, like int count = 0;, and BeanShell will interpret it the same way Java would.

Alternatively, BeanShell's loose typing lets you skip the type entirely and just assign a value directly, like count = 0;, letting the interpreter infer the type from the value.

Both styles can be mixed freely within the same script, so a developer can declare some variables with explicit types for clarity where it matters and use loose, untyped assignment for quick, throwaway values elsewhere.
