# Variables

func main():

    # Variable declarations use `:=` and do not
    # require you to specify a type explicitly:
    x := 123

    # To assign a new value, use `=`
    x = 999

    # You can also use update assignments like `+=`

    # Variables are strongly typed, so you can't
    # assign different types to the same variable:
    x = "hello"

    # value "okay"


    >> y
