Rust variables

Assignment

let age: u8 = 200;   // typed
let age = 200u8;     // type-suffix
let age = 200;       // implied type

Literals

Literal types can be declared without assigning a type.

let float = 3.14;  // f64
let integer = 7;  // i32

Constants

Constants can be declared in any scope (including global).
constants cannot be changed once assigned.

const SALT: &str = "$6$r1ohStL5/UwpNnls";
static RETRIES: i8 = 5;
