Variables

Variables can be directly be assigned values and the type can be inferred based on that

x = 5

This variable is now in global scope.

If there is a function such as

def setX value = (x = value)

then the value of x will be modified in global scope as well.

To create a local variable you can declare the type of the variable

def setX value = (int x = value)

or use the the var keyword.

def setX value = (var x = value)

You can also declare a variable with a default value

int x

Here x will be local variable assigned to 0.

Similarly the following types will have the following default values
