difference between let and const 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: const let var scope

var num = 1;   //var can be function or global scoped
const num = 2; //const can only be block scoped
let num = 3;   //let can only be block scoped

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: what is the difference between let and const in javascript

The difference is that with const you can only only assign a value to a variable
once, but with let it allows you to reassign after it has been assigned.
