why the value still can be changed

class C{ var a = 5 } let c = C() c.a = 6 c.a = 7 print(c.a) // why the value still can be changed even though we use let

You don't change the value of your var c, just the value of one of its attributes. That's a big difference. c is still the same object and remains, even if you modify the value of any attribute. OOP basics.

PS: easy cross-check for you, try this: let c = C() // valid c.a = 0 // valid c = C() // failure
