What will occur if a variable is reassigned at the same scope in Puppet?

In Puppet, when a variable is reassigned at the same scope, the last defined value is kept and applied. Puppet allows for variable reassignment within the same scope, so each new assignment to the variable will overwrite the previous value.

This means that when you assign a value to a variable, and then assign a different value to the same variable within the same scope, the first value is replaced by the second one. This behavior is useful for cases where you need to modify the value based on certain conditions or configurations without causing errors during the compilation process.

While other options suggest complications like a compilation error or undefined variables, these do not apply to variable reassignment in Puppet as the language is designed to handle such scenarios gracefully, ensuring the last assignment is the one that is effective.
