f int // public and mutable both inside and outside parent module

```
For example, here's the `string` type defined in the `builtin` module:
```v ignore
struct string {
str &byte
pub:
len int
}
```
It's easy to see from this definition that `string` is an immutable type.
The byte pointer with the string data is not accessible outside `builtin` at all.
The `len` field is public, but immutable:
```v failcompile
fn main() {
str := 'hello'
len := str.len // OK
str.len++ // Compilation error
}
```
This means that defining public readonly fields is very easy in V.
Private fields are available only inside the same [module](#modules), any attempt
to directly access them from another module will cause an error during compilation.
Public immutable fields are readonly everywhere.
