var, let, and const
var, let, and const: The Three Musketeers
JavaScript gives you three ways to declare variables, each with different behaviors and use cases.
var – The Old Timer
Copy to Clipboard
let – The Modern Hero
Copy to Clipboard
const – The Unchanging One
Copy to Clipboard
When to Use Each
- const: Use by default for values that won’t change
- let: Use when you need to change the value
- var: Avoid in modern JavaScript
Remember: const
prevents reassignment, not mutation of objects!
