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;
