Code Review - Printing Variable Information to Console

[KeaganM]

Hello, I was hoping a few people would take a quick look at some super simple code I created. The program simply prints the memory location, size, and value of different types of variables. What I don't like about it is that it seems like a bit much. I was thinking of putting the variables in a structure but I don't think that will help too much. I also might make a different function for each print job to help "condense" it. If you think there is a better way to display the variable name and associated information, please let me know, thank you!

Sorry, I didn't get round to sorting the arrays out similarly, but you should get the gist.

If you find yourself writing the same thing lots of times then consider functions ... and if variables of different types then consider templates:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/functions2/

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

template <typename T> void allAboutIt( string description, T &var )
{
   cout << description << '\n';
   cout << "Address: " << &var << '\n';
   cout << "Size: " << sizeof( var ) << " bytes\n";
   cout << "Value: " << var << "\n\n";
}


int main()
{
    int int_variable = 1;
    bool bool_variable = true;
    char char_variable = 'A';
    short int short_variable = 32766;
    float float_variable = 89234.454;
    double double_variable = 308923.4567;
    long double long_double_variable = 1029384.5938245;
    double double_array[5] = {2.5,8.93};
    int int_array[4] = {0,1,2,3};

    int *ptr_int = nullptr;
    float *ptr_float = nullptr;

    ptr_int = &int_variable;
    ptr_float = &float_variable;

    allAboutIt( "Integer:    ", int_variable    );
    allAboutIt( "Bool:       ", bool_variable   );
    allAboutIt( "Character:  ", char_variable   );
    allAboutIt( "Short:      ", short_variable  );
    allAboutIt( "Float:      ", float_variable  );
    allAboutIt( "Double:     ", double_variable );
    allAboutIt( "Long double:", long_double_variable );
}
