Variables

Rust provides type safety via static typing. Variable bindings are immutable by default:

fn main() {
    let x: i32 = 10;
    println!("x: {x}");
    // x = 20;
    // println!("x: {x}");
}

• Due to type inference the i32 is optional. We will gradually show the types less and less as the course progresses.
• Note that since println! is a macro, x is not moved, even using the function like syntax of println!("x: {}", x)
