The first line is
private var f = 0;
Here the identifier 'f' is seen first and the 'var' means the
type is not known.
However, the =0 causes the "type inference" machinery to kick
and specify the 'type' for f as 'Int'.
With this 'f' is declared and defined.
The next line is again an attempt to define 'f'.
Hence the error.
