js let vs var vs const code example
Example 1: 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 2: var or const in javascript
// var declares a variable, meaning its value will vary.
// const declares a constant, meaning its value will remain
// consistant and not change.
// If your variable changes throughout the program or website,
// declare it using a var statement.
// Otherwise, if its value does not change, declare it using
// a const statement.
const myConst='A const does not change.';
var myVar='A var does change.';
var myVar=2;
Example 3: difference between var let and const in javascript with example
//functional scope
var a; // declaration
a=10; // initialization;
//global scope
// re-initialization possible
let a;//only blocked scope & re-initialization possible
a=10;
let a =20;
if(true){
let b =30;
}
console.log(b); // b is not defined
const // const also blocked scope,Re-initialization and re-declaration not possible
const a; // throws error {when we declaring the value we should assign the value.
const a =20;
if(true){
const b =30;
}
console.log(b); // b is not defined
console.log(a); // no output here because code execution break at leve b.
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); //OK
console.log(num2); //OK
console.log(num3); //Compiler Error: Cannot find name 'num3'
console.log(num4); //Compiler Error: Cannot find name 'num4'
}
letDeclaration();
