Can we change the type of variables in scala at runtime?

Q) Can we change the type of variables in scala at runtime?

Lets look at the following code:

var myVar:Any = "Hello World!!!" /*Do not let the scala compiler to deduce the type. Force the type to  "Any".*/

//Check for type of myVar now!
println(myVar.getClass()) // class java.lang.String

//Now reassign with a numeric value!
myVar = 42

//Check for type of myVar now!
println(myVar.getClass()) //class java.lang.Integer

Hence, by forcing the type to Any at the point of definition will allow us variables to be assigned with any type of values!
