Why have String when we have a perfectly good array at home?
because char* sucks
a = ""
Say that again, motherfucker! 🔫
I see your TypeScript and raise you kotlin:
var a: String
What’s up with that syntax? Why the use of var here?
Kotlin knows mutable and immutable variables. var indicate mutables and val would indicate immutables (comparable with the final modifier in java and const in JavaScript/TypeScript).
So a var can start as a string and later be an integer?
I don't know Kotlin but in other languages "(im)mutable" refers to the value, not the type.
No, the type is strict and fixed.
When String a without being told Let a: String -
"Ah ah ah! Simon didn't say!"
To keep the casuals away
