Create a constant named language and assign it a string "Swift"
Your code:
var str = "language"
let str = "Swift"
So, what you are doing would be, if it was the assignment:
- Create a variable named str and assign it a string "language"
- Create a constant named str and assign it a string "Swift"
Give it a try and see if you can solve this with the information I provided now!
Additional information:
Your code triggers a compiler error, as you are defining str
twice, the first time as a variable, second time as a constant. This is not valid code.
You can read more on this topic at Apple Swift Docs: Constants and Variables.
Hope that helps :)
