Constants and val variables

Why does the code work?

Report a typo

Suppose we have a val variable myList and want to get rid of some of the list elements using the remove function:

val myList = mutableListOf(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
myList.remove(3)

Why does this code work correctly?

Select one option from the list

The val keyword allows changing the value of a variable once.

The val keyword does not prohibit changing the internal state of the list, it only prohibits reassigning the variable.

This is a lie – the code does not work at all!

The val keyword does not work with lists.
