when to use var let and const in javascript code example

Example 1: 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 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: const let var

var greeter;
    console.log(greeter); // greeter is undefined
    greeter = "say hello"
