Added topics beyond the language basics from ziglearn.org to the README. That's a lot of exercises. I'd like to keep it under 100, though!

// It's important to note that variable pointers and constant pointers
|
|
// are different types.
|
|
//
|
|
// Given:
|
|
//
|
|
// var foo: u8 = 5;
|
|
// const bar: u8 = 5;
|
|
//
|
|
// Then:
|
|
//
|
|
// &foo is of type "*u8"
|
|
// &bar is of type "*const u8"
|
|
//
|
|
// You can always make a constant pointer to a variable, but you cannot
|
|
// make a variable pointer to a constant. This sounds like a logic puzzle,
|
|
// but it just means that once data is declared immutable, you can't
|
|
// coerce it to a mutable type. It's a safety thing (to prevent mistakes).
|
|
