You hit this error because the compiler lacks information to
determine a type for this variable. Erroneous code example:
You hit this error because the compiler lacks the information to
determine the type of this variable. Erroneous code example:

```compile_fail
fn demo(devil: fn () -> !) {
let x: &_ = devil();
// error: cannot determine a type for this local variable
}

fn oh_no() -> ! { panic!("the devil is in the details") }

fn main() {
demo(oh_no);
// could be an array of anything
let x = []; // error: cannot determine a type for this local variable
}
```

To solve this situation, constrain the type of the variable.
Examples:

```no_run
```
#![allow(unused_variables)]

fn some_func(x: &u32) {
// some code
}

fn demo(devil: fn () -> !) {
let x: &u32 = devil();
// Here we defined the type at the variable creation

let x: &_ = devil();
some_func(x);
// Here, the type is determined by the function argument type
}

fn oh_no() -> ! { panic!("the devil is in the details") }

fn main() {
demo(oh_no);
let x: [u8; 0] = [];
}
