rustAn example of error in Rust

An example of an error in Rust is a type mismatch error. This occurs when a variable is assigned a value of a different type than what it was declared as.

For example, the following code will result in a type mismatch error:

let x = 5;
x = "Hello";

Output

error[E0308]: mismatched types --> src/main.rs:2:5 | 2 | x = "Hello"; | ^^^^^^^^^^ expected integer, found &str

Explanation:

• The variable x was declared as an integer on line 1
• On line 2, the variable x is being assigned a string value of "Hello"
• This results in a type mismatch error, as the variable x was declared as an integer, but is being assigned a string value
