Variables

Store references.

Everything you can place in a variable is an object, and every object is an instance of a class.

• If an object isn’t restricted to a single type, specify the Object or dynamic type.

  dynamic name = 'Bob';

• There is an option to explicitly declare the type that would be inferred.

  String name = 'Bob';

• Variable may be created and initialized using var keyword.

  var name = 'Bob';

Uninitialized variables have an initial value of null.

Even variables with numeric types are initially null, because numbers — like everything else in Dart — are objects.

final name = 'Bob';

• A final variable can be set only once.
• A final top-level or class variable is initialized the first time it’s used.
• You can’t change the value of a final variable.

const bar = 1000000; // Unit of pressure (dynes/cm2)
const double atm = 1.01325 * bar; // Standard atmosphere

• A const variable is a compile-time constant.
• Const variables are implicitly final.
• If the const variable is at the class level, mark it static const.
• The const keyword isn’t just for declaring constant variables. You can also use it to create constant values, as well as to declare constructors that create constant values. Any variable can have a constant value.

  Var foo = const []; 
  final bar = const []; 
  const baz = []; // Equivalent to `const []`
