javascript can you use var defined in if code example

Example: js variables

// let & var are both editable variables:
var cow = 'moo';
let pig = 'oink';
cow = 10;
pig = 10;
// const is a permanent variable; you cannot change it.
const uncuttableGrass = '\/\/';
uncuttableGrass = '___';
// above throws an error
