var let const difference code example
Example 1: javascript var let
// var has function scope.
// let has block scope.
function func(){
if(true){
var A = 1;
let B = 2;
}
A++; // 2 --> ok, inside function scope
B++; // B is not defined --> not ok, outside of block scope
return A + B; // NaN --> B is not defined
}
Example 2: var vs let vs const
var:
- hoisted (always declared at top of scope, global if none)
- function scope
let:
- block scope
- not redeclarable
const:
- block scope
- not reassignable
- not redeclarable
Note: Although it may seem like these hold only semantic meaning, using the
appropriate keywords helps the JS engines' compiler to decide on what to optimize.
Example 3: what is the difference between let and const in javascript
The difference is that with const you can only only assign a value to a variable
once, but with let it allows you to reassign after it has been assigned.
Example 4: 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.
