What is the difference between `let` and `var` in swift?

Question

What is the difference between let and var in Apple\'s Swift language?

In my understanding, it is a compiled language but it does not check

Answer 1

let is used to define constants and var to define variables. You define the string using var then particular String can be modified (or mutated) by assigning it to a variable (in which case it can be modified), and if you define the string using let its a constant (in which case it cannot be modified):

var variableString = "Apple"
variableString += " and Banana"
// variableString is now "Apple and Banana"

let constantString = "Apple"
constantString += " and another Banana"
// this reports a compile-time error - a constant string cannot be modified
