KOTLIN - VAL

Say in your program you need some values that should never be changed. And this is where 'val' comes into picture.

Let us simplify with the below example.

fun main(){
	
    val x = 5
    x = 7
    println(x)
}

Output :

Val cannot be reassigned

So, in the above code we have created a constant 'x' using the 'val' keyword.

val x = 5

Once the value is assigned to 'x', it cannot be changed as it is a constant.

And that is the reason we ended up with the below error message.

Val cannot be reassigned
