# Immutability

At this point in our training, you need to learn that all values in Haskell are immutable! What exactly does that mean? It means that when you apply a function to some argument, the value of that argument cannot be changed. Instead, you create a new value each time. That means "variable assignment" does not exist in Haskell. Instead, we only assign a *name* to an expression and we know that that *name* will always evaluate only that expression.

```haskell
ghci> let a = [1,2,3]
ghci> reverse a -- reverse is a function that reverses a list...
[3,2,1]
ghci> a -- ...but the value of the expression "a" never changes
[1,2,3]
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://haskell.hpmeducation.com/introduction/immutability.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
