If we modify a variable in a viewModel in Jetpack Compose, will it affect the state of the viewModel?

Yes, if a variable in a viewModel is modified in Jetpack Compose, it will affect the state of the viewModel. The viewModel is the source of truth for the data and state of the UI, and any changes made to its variables will reflect in the UI. However, it is important to follow the recommended best practices for modifying the viewModel state, such as using State, StateFlow, MutableState, and MutableStateFlow objects, to ensure proper handling of UI updates and avoiding race conditions.
