=== Variables ===
Variables are immutable by default and are defined using {{code|1=:=}} and a value. Use the {{code|mut}} [[reserved word]] (keyword) to make them mutable. Mutable variables can be assigned to using {{code|1==}}:{{sfn|Rao|2021|pp=28-40}}<ref name=":0" />

Redeclaring a variable, whether in an inner scope or in the same scope, is not allowed:{{sfn|Rao|2021|pp=28-40}}<ref name=":0" />

=== Heap structs ===
 
By default, structs are allocated on the stack. When structs are referenced by using the prefix {{code|1=&}} or have the heap attribute, they are allocated on the heap instead:{{sfn|Rao|2021}}<ref name=":0" />

[[Method (computer programming)|Methods]] in V are functions defined with a receiver [[Parameter (computer programming)|argument]]. The receiver appears in its own argument list between the fn keyword and the method name. Methods must be in the same [[Modular programming|module]] as the receiver type.
 
The enrolled_status method (below) has a receiver of type {{code|1=Client}} named {{code|1=x}}. The convention is not to use receiver names like self or this, but preferably a short name. For example:<ref name="Knott"/><ref name="nasufi"/><ref name=":0" /><syntaxhighlight lang="v">

Result types may represent an error returned from a function. Result types are declared by prepending {{code|!}}: {{code|!Type}}
 
Optional types may represent {{code|none}}. Option types prepend {{code|?}} to the type name: {{code|?Type}}.<ref name="Knott"/><ref name="section"/>{{Sfn|Tsoukalos|2022}}<ref name=":0" />
