Editing Immutable object (section)

=== Violating immutability ===
Immutability does not imply that the object as stored in the computer's [[Computer storage|memory]] is unwriteable. Rather, immutability is a [[compile-time]] construct that indicates what a programmer can do through the normal interface of the object, not necessarily what they can absolutely do (for instance, by circumventing the type system or violating [[const correctness]] in [[C (programming language)|C]] or [[C++]]).
