javascript variable name rules code example

Example 1: javascript declare a variable

//choose the best for your solution
var myVariable = 22; //this can be a string or number. var is globally defined

let myVariable = 22; //this can be a string or number. let is block scoped

const myVariable = 22; //this can be a string or number. const is block scoped and can't be reassigned

Example 2: 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

Example 3: how to name a javascript variable

//variables can include any letter, any number, or the underscore
	//NO SPACES!!! USE UNDERSCORES!!!
	//variable names are case sensitive
	//example:
var change_this = 'whatever you want here'
	//change_this is a variable (change it to your variable name)
	//'whatever you want here' is a string (you'll learn about this later)
