2. Using let
3. Using const
Using var
Variables are containers for storing data (values).In this example, x, y, and z, are variables, declared with the var keyword.
var x = 5;
var y = 6;
var z = x + y;
console.log('The value of z is: ' + z);
Using let
Variables defined with let cannot be re-declared. Variables defined with let must be declared before use. Variables defined with let have Block Scope.
let x = 'MindStick pvt ltd';
let x = 0;
// SyntaxError: 'x' has already been declared
var x = 2; // Allowed
let x = 3; // Not allowed
{
let x = 2; // Allowed
let x = 3 // Not allowed
}
{
let x = 2; // Allowed
var x = 3 // Not allowed
}
Using const
Variables defined with const cannot be re-declared. Variables defined with const cannot be re-assigned. Variables defined with const have block scope. Like fixed value.
const PI = 3.141592653589793;
PI = 3.14; // This will give an error
PI = PI + 10; // This will also give an error
