When changing the value of a variable in C, is a new primitive created or is the current primitive mutated?

Question

I know that \'mutable\' and \'immutable\' are terms that should be used to describe the ability for objects to change value in object oriented languages such as Java and Obj

Answer 1

It should be the current primitive modified. I tested using a simple code here, and it refers to the same address.

#include 

int main(void) {
    // your code goes here
    int a = 5;

    printf ("%p = %i\n", (void*) &a, a);
    a = 10;
    printf ("%p = %i\n", (void*) &a, a);

    return 0;
}
