| An immutable variable was reassigned. | |
| Erroneous code example: | |
| ```compile_fail,E0384 | |
| fn main() { | |
| let x = 3; | |
| x = 5; // error, reassignment of immutable variable | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| By default, variables in Rust are immutable. To fix this error, add the keyword | |
| `mut` after the keyword `let` when declaring the variable. For example: | |
| ``` | |
| fn main() { | |
| let mut x = 3; | |
| x = 5; | |
| } | |
| ``` | |
| Alternatively, you might consider initializing a new variable: either with a new | |
| bound name or (by [shadowing]) with the bound name of your existing variable. | |
| For example: | |
| [shadowing]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch03-01-variables-and-mutability.html#shadowing | |
| ``` | |
| fn main() { | |
| let x = 3; | |
| let x = 5; | |
| } | |
| ``` |
