This program declares two local variables. imu binds an immutable value — once language holds "zo", it can never change. mut binds a mutable value, so version can be reassigned with = or updated in place with a compound operator like +=.

Each binding names its type after the : — str for text, int for a whole number — and the value on the right must match it.

Reach for imu by default and only use mut when a value truly has to change. Immutable-by-default keeps data flow easy to follow.
