const vs let vs var code example
Example 1: let vs const
`const` is a signal that the identifier won't be reassigned.
`let` is a signal that the variable may be reassigned, such as a counter in a
loop, or a value swap in an algorithm.
It also signals that the variable will be used only in the block it's defined
in, which is not always the entire containing function.
Example 2: var let const javascript
Const vs Let vs Var
const pi = 3.14
pi = 1
cannot do this becuase with const you cannot change the value
_____________________________________
Let --> is block level
for(let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
console.log(i) --> it will console here
}
console.log(i) ---> Not here
---------------------------------------
Var is for variables available to the entire function
for(var j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
console.log(j) --> it will console here
}
console.log(j) ---> it will console here
Example 3: var vs let vs const
var:
- hoisted (always declared at top of scope, global if none)
- function scope
let:
- block scope
- not redeclarable
const:
- block scope
- not reassignable
- not redeclarable
Note: Although it may seem like these hold only semantic meaning, using the
appropriate keywords helps the JS engines' compiler to decide on what to optimize.
Example 4: var vs let vs const typescript
let num1:number = 1;
function letDeclaration() {
let num2:number = 2;
if (num2 > num1) {
let num3: number = 3;
num3++;
}
while(num1 < num2) {
let num4: number = 4;
num1++;
}
console.log(num1);
console.log(num2);
console.log(num3);
console.log(num4);
}
letDeclaration();
