rustHow do I initialize a variable in Rust?

Variables in Rust are declared using the let keyword. The syntax for initializing a variable is let <variable_name> = <value>. For example:

let x = 5;

This will create a variable named x and assign it the value 5.

The parts of the 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

More information about variables in Rust can be found in the Rust Book.
