rustHow do I create a variable in Rust?

Creating a variable in Rust is a simple process. You can use the let keyword to declare a variable and assign it a value. For example:

let x = 5;

This code creates a variable called x and assigns it the value 5.

The parts of this code are:

• let: the keyword used to declare a variable
• x: the name of the variable
• =: the assignment operator
• 5: the value assigned to the variable

You can also declare a variable without assigning it a value. In this case, the variable will be given a default value depending on its type. For example:

let y: i32;

This code creates a variable called y of type i32 and assigns it the default value 0.
