let and const in javascript 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: var let const javascript

Const vs Let vs Var

const pi = 3.14

pi = 1 
cannot do this becuase with const you cannot change the value

_____________________________________


Let --> is block level 

for(let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
console.log(i) --> it will console here
}
console.log(i) ---> Not here


---------------------------------------

Var is for variables available to the entire function 


for(var j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
console.log(j) --> it will console here
}
console.log(j) ---> it will console here

Example 3: 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 4: what is const in javascript

const age; // errror as const cannot be kept un-initialized;
const age = 20 ; 
const age = 21 , // error as once declared const variable cann't be
// re-declared in same scope or different scope.

Example 5: 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;
