Variables (const and var)
Fill the missing TYPE annotation. The variable holds a Boolean value; Zig's primitive bool type is the answer. Same name as in most languages — just a short, lower-case identifier.

About this theme
Zig defaults the other way from TypeScript. const is the default reflex; var is the explicit opt-in when you need to reassign. Type annotations come AFTER the name (var x: i32 = 5), not before, and they're optional when the literal disambiguates. Shadowing across scopes is allowed; redeclaring in the same scope is a compile error.
