<p>Variables are declared and initialized with <code>:=</code>. This is the only
way to declare variables in V. This means that variables always have an initial
value.</p>
<p>The variable's type is inferred from the value on the right hand side.
To choose a different type, use type conversion:
the expression <code>T(v)</code> converts the value <code>v</code> to the
type <code>T</code>.</p>
<p>Unlike most other languages, V only allows defining variables in functions.
By default V does not allow <strong>global variables</strong>. See more <a href="global-variables.html">details</a>.</p>
<p>For consistency across different code bases, all variable and function names
must use the <code>snake_case</code> style, as opposed to type names, which must use <code>PascalCase</code>.</p>

<div class="language-v">mut age := 20
println(age)
age = 21
println(age)
</div>
<p>To change the value of the variable use <code>=</code>. In V, variables are
immutable by default.
To be able to change the value of the variable, you have to declare it with <code>mut</code>.</p>
<p>Try compiling the program above after removing <code>mut</code> from the first line.</p>
<h2 id="initialization-vs-assignment">Initialization vs assignment <a href="variables.html#initialization-vs-assignment" class="header-anchor" aria-hidden="true">#</a></h2>
<p>Note the (important) difference between <code>:=</code> and <code>=</code>.
<code>:=</code> is used for declaring and initializing, <code>=</code> is used for assigning.</p>
<div class="language-v">fn main() {
age = 21
}
</div>
<p>This code will not compile, because the variable <code>age</code> is not declared.
All variables need to be declared in V.</p>
<div class="language-v">fn main() {
age := 21
}
</div>
<p>The values of multiple variables can be changed in one line.
In this way, their values can be swapped without an intermediary variable.</p>
<div class="language-v">mut a := 0
mut b := 1
println('${a}, ${b}') // 0, 1
a, b = b, a
println('${a}, ${b}') // 1, 0

<p>In development mode the compiler will warn you that you haven't used the variable
(you'll get an "unused variable" warning).
This includes variables declared by <code>for</code> loops. Use <code>_</code> for an unneeded loop index,
key, or value.
