Variables (const and var)


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.
