Variables in Kotlin

Variables in Kotlin are of 2 types -

1. Mutable Variables - Can be reassigned. “var” is used to define mutable variables.

2. Immutable Variables - Can’t be reassigned. “val” is used to define immutable variables.

var can be reassigned. For example - var age = 4; age = 5

We created a variable age with the value of 4 and then we assigned the value to 5, so var can be reassigned.

But val can’t be reassigned. For example - val age = 5; age = 6 

We created a variable age with the value of 6 but when we try to reassign it to 6, Android Studio throws the error “Change ‘val’ to ‘var’”.
