Freezing - Rust By Example
Description: A description

# Freezing

When data is bound by the same name immutably, it also freezes. Frozen data can't be modified until the immutable binding goes out of scope:

    fn main() {
        let mut _mutable_integer = 7i32;

        {
            // Shadowing by immutable `_mutable_integer`
            let _mutable_integer = _mutable_integer;

            // Error! `_mutable_integer` is frozen in this scope
            _mutable_integer = 50;
            // FIXME ^ Comment out this line

            // `_mutable_integer` goes out of scope
        }

        // Ok! `_mutable_integer` is not frozen in this scope
        _mutable_integer = 3;
    }
