+//
+/// The `let` keyword.
+///
+/// The `let` keyword is used to declare a variable.
+///
+/// Example:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #![allow(unused_assignments)]
+/// let x = 3; // We create a variable named `x` with the value `3`.
+/// ```
+///
+/// By default, all variables are **not** mutable. If you want a mutable variable,
+/// you'll have to use the `mut` keyword.
+///
+/// Example:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #![allow(unused_assignments)]
+/// let mut x = 3; // We create a mutable variable named `x` with the value `3`.
+///
+/// x += 4; // `x` is now equal to `7`.
+/// ```
+///
+/// For more information about the `let` keyword, take a look at the [Rust Book][book].
