                                    Declare Variables in Swift Written by Team Kodeco

                                    In Swift, variables are used to store values that can change throughout the course of a program. They are declared using the var keyword, followed by the variable name and an equal sign, and then the value being assigned to the variable. Here is an example:

                                    var age = 42 

                                    This declares a variable named age and assigns it the value of 25. You can then change the value of the variable later in your code:

                                    age = 42 

                                    You can also declare a variable without assigning it a value initially. This is called an “uninitialized” variable. An uninitialized variable must be assigned a value before it’s used in your code, otherwise you’ll get a compile-time error. Here is an example:

                                    var name: String name = "Ray" 

                                    Note that when you declare a variable without assigning it a value initially, you have to use an explicit type annotation to specify the type of the variable. In the example above, you specified that name was of type String .

                                    You can also declare multiple variables on a single line, separated by commas:

                                    var name = "Ray", age = 42 

                                    Variable Name Restrictions

                                    It’s important to note that the variable name cannot start with a number and it shouldn’t contain any whitespaces, mathematical symbols or arrows and it should start with a letter or underscore.

                                    It’s also important to note that a variable can only be declared once within the same scope. Attempting to declare the same variable again within the same scope will result in a compile-time error.
