Intro to state in Compose

Describe the problem
Hi! I do not really know if it is a problem, however I was following the step by step of this process and I have found a litlle problem:

In the codelab it says that you can use this code, but I got an error that prevented me to build the app, may be something that changed in the mean time that the codelab was created and I have satarted, anyway if it is not a problem, ok.

I already tried to use .value, still not working

I expect being useful

Steps to reproduce?

1. it's just use the code on this codelab, it isn't working

Versions
Android Studio version: sorry, i am new on this, can't say
API version of the emulator: sorry, i am new on this, can't say

Additional information
Include screenshots if they would be useful in clarifying the problem.

Maybe this is because you're initializing it inside a Composable function.
It'll work with no errors if you initialize it in a not-composable one, otherwise, you'll need to do it with the remember function.
