isimmutable

..  isimmutable(v)

Return ``true`` iff value ``v`` is immutable.  See :ref:`man-immutable-composite-types` for a discussion of immutability.
Note that this function works on values, so if you give it a type, it will tell you that a value of ``DataType`` is mutable.

Examples

The isimmutable function in Julia is used to determine whether a given value is immutable or not. It returns true if the value is immutable, and false otherwise. Here are some examples of how to use the isimmutable function:

1. Check if an integer is immutable:

   julia> isimmutable(5)
   true

   The isimmutable function returns true for immutable values like integers.

2. Check if a string is immutable:

   julia> isimmutable("Julia")
   true

   Strings are immutable in Julia, so the isimmutable function returns true for them.

3. Check if an array is immutable:

   julia> isimmutable([1, 2, 3])
   false

   Arrays are mutable in Julia, so the isimmutable function returns false for them.

4. Check if a custom composite type is immutable:

   julia> struct Person
             name::String
             age::Int
         end
   
   julia> isimmutable(Person("Alice", 25))
   false

   Custom composite types are mutable by default unless explicitly defined as immutable. In this example, the isimmutable function returns false for the Person object.

Please note that the isimmutable function works on values, not types. If you provide a type to the function, it will tell you that a value of that type is mutable.
