| # Mutability | |
| Variable bindings are immutable by default, but this can be overridden using | |
| the `mut` modifier. | |
| ```rust,editable,ignore,mdbook-runnable | |
| fn main() { | |
| let _immutable_binding = 1; | |
| let mut mutable_binding = 1; | |
| println!("Before mutation: {}", mutable_binding); | |
| // Ok | |
| mutable_binding += 1; | |
| println!("After mutation: {}", mutable_binding); | |
| // Error! | |
| _immutable_binding += 1; | |
| // FIXME ^ Comment out this line | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| The compiler will throw a detailed diagnostic about mutability errors. |
