@maegul@lemmy.ml Yeah if you wanted to modify the original variable you would need to make it mutable, and use
&mutreferences to it all the way down. By changing the function parameter to be mutable, we’re not modifying anything outside of this function: we’re just allowing ourselves to re-use the parameter to hold different values while the function is running. I don’t particularly like doing that - I’d prefer to make a new local variable if I want to change things within the function, but I think the exercise might have said I wasn’t allowed to make new variables :-)Cheers Andy!
Also sorry for the gobbled English in my question! Thanks for making sense of it!
