To define variables in carbon language, use this syntax –
var identifier: < expression | auto > [ = value ];
Code Example
var x: i32 = 42;
Let’s understand this example –
-
var
– To indicate that this is a variable. -
x
– Name of the variable -
i32
– 32 bit integer -
:
– To separate variable name and it’s type -
42
– Value of the variable
We can also write this code using auto
–
var x: auto = 42;
auto
results in a constant IntLiteral(42)
value.
