Understanding the differences between let
, const
, and var
helps prevent variable-related bugs in JavaScript.
var
: Function-scoped, hoisted, can be redeclared.
let
: Block-scoped, not hoisted, can be reassigned.
const
: Block-scoped, cannot be reassigned.
Example:
var a = 10;
let b = 20;
const c = 30;
a = 15; // Allowed
b = 25; // Allowed
// c = 35; // Error: Assignment to constant variable
