letin javascript code example

Example 1: let in javascript

The let statement declares a block scope local variable, optionally initializing it to a value.

let x = 1;

if (x === 1) {
  let x = 2;

  console.log(x);
  // expected output: 2
}

console.log(x);
// expected output: 1

Example 2: let and var difference

function run() {
  var foo = "Foo";
  let bar = "Bar";

  console.log(foo, bar);

  {
    let baz = "Bazz";
    console.log(baz);
  }

  console.log(baz); // ReferenceError
}

run();
