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

The main difference is that var variable value can change, and let can't. If you want to have a user input data, you would use var so the value can be changed and use let datatype variable so the value can not be changed.

var str      = "dog"  // str value is "dog"
str          = "cat"  // str value is now "cat"

let strAnimal = "dog" // strAnimal value is "dog"
strAnimal     = "cat" // Error !
