If you want to make a variable mutable you need to add the keyword `mut` before the variable name. **We recommend to use immutable variables as much as possible** because it's safer for two reason. First, Rust ensures that used memory is deallocated when the program is compiled, as this programming language does not have a garbage collector. Second, it is easier to reason about immutable variables because you know that the value will not change. + +````rust +fn main() { + /// Immutable variable (will throw an error) + let x = 5; + println!("The value of x is: {}", x); //! --> The value of x is: 5 + x = 6; // This will throw an error because x is immutable + + //// Mutable variable + let mut x = 5; + println!("The value of x is: {}", x); //! --> The value of x is: 5 + x = 6; // This will not throw an error because x is mutable + println!("The value of x is: {}", x); //! --> The value of x is: 6 + + //// Shadowing variable + let x = 5; + println!("The value of x is: {}", x); //! --> The value of x is: 5 + let x = x + 1; // This will not throw an error because we are creating a new variable and shadowing the previous one + println!("The value of x is: {}", x); //! --> The value of x is: 6 +} +```` + +You can also declare a constant variable using the `const` keyword. The **type of the variable must be specified** and it will be immutable. Constants can be declared anywhere, **the variable name must be in uppercase** and the value must be a constant expression, not the result of a function call or any other value that could only be calculated at runtime. + +````rust +fn main() { + //// Constants + const HEAL_POINTS: u32 = 100_000 * 5; + println!("The value of HEAL_POINTS is: {}", HEAL_POINTS); //! --> The value of HEAL_POINTS is: 500000 +} +```` + +### Data types + +**Rust is a statically typed language**, which means that it must know the types of all variables at compile time. The compiler can usually infer what type we want to use based on the value and how we use it. In addition, we can add type annotation to indicate which type we want to use. + +````rust +fn main() { + // Convert a string to integer by specifying the type + let guess: u32 = "42".parse().expect("Not a number!"); // The type mus be specified (u32) + println!("The value of guess is: {}", guess); //! --> The value of guess is: 42 +} +```` + +#### Scalar types + +A scalar type represents a single value. Rust has four primary scalar types: integers, floating-point numbers, Booleans, and characters. + +| Length | Signed | Unsigned | +| ------- | ------ | -------- | +| 8-bit | i8 | u8 | +| 16-bit | i16 | u16 | +| 32-bit | i32 | u32 | +| 64-bit | i64 | u64 | +| 128-bit | i128 | u128 | +| arch | isize | usize | + + +| Number literals | Example | +|-----------------|---------| +| Decimal | 98_222 | +| Hex | 0xff | +| Octal | 0o77 | +| Binary | 0b1111_0000 | +| Byte (u8 only) | b'A' | + +In Rust you can cast one type into another using the `as` keyword. You can also specify the signature of a number using the suffix `_type` (e.g. `5_i32`). + +````rust +fn main() { + //// Integer types + let x: u32 = 5 as u32; // Unsigned integer + let x: i32 = 5; // Signed integer (default one) + + //// Floating-point types + let x: f32 = 5.0_f32; // 32-bit floating-point number + let x: f64 = 5.0; // 64-bit floating-point number (default one) + + //// Boolean types + let x: bool = true; // Boolean type + + //// Character types + let x: char = 'x'; // Character type + + /// Numeric operations + let sum = 5 + 10; // Addition + let difference = 95.5 - 4.3; // Subtraction + let product = 4 * 30; // Multiplication + let quotient = 56.7 / 32.2; // Division + let remainder = 43 % 5; // Remainder + + /// If statements + let number: i32 = 3; + if number < 5 { + println!("number smaller than 5"); //! --> condition was true + } else if number > 25 { + println!("number bigger than 25"); + } else { + println!("number between 5 and 25"); + } +```` + + +### Functions + +````rust +fn main() { + +} +```` \ No newline at end of file
