What’s up with that syntax? Why the use of var here?
Kotlin knows mutable and immutable variables.
var
indicate mutables andval
would indicate immutables (comparable with thefinal
modifier in java andconst
in JavaScript/TypeScript).So a var can start as a string and later be an integer?
I don't know Kotlin but in other languages "(im)mutable" refers to the value, not the type.
