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.

let vs var vs const

// ⚡ Initialization
var a; //✅
let b; //✅
const c; //❌ const must have an initial value

// ⚡ Re-Assignment
var d = 1; 
d = 10; //✅

let e = 2; 
e = 20; //✅

const f = 3; 
f = 30 //❌ const value is always constant and cannot be reassigned

// ⚡ Re-Declaration
var g = 1; 
var g = 10; //✅

let h = 2; 
let h = 20; //❌ must use variable name only to reassign, cannot be reassigned 

const i = 3; 
const i = 30 //❌ cannot be reassigned

// ⚡ Scope [Global, Function or local and block scope]
// Global Scope ==> Any variable that is declared outside any of the function
// Function Scope(var) ==> Can be accessed inside the function it was declared and its child
// Block Scope(let and const) ==> Con be accessed inside curly brackets where it was declared and its child

function myFunction(){
    var myName1 = 'Asmita';
    let myName2 = 'Dikshit';
    const myName3 = 'Sizen';
    console.log(myName1);
    console.log(myName2);
    console.log(myName3);

    if(true){
        console.log(myName1);
        console.log(myName2);
        console.log(myName3);

        var myAge1 = 13;
        let myAge2 = 15;
        const myAge3 = 14;
        console.log(myAge1);
        console.log(myAge2);
        console.log(myAge3);
    }

    console.log(myName1);
    console.log(myName2);
    console.log(myName3);

    console.log(myAge1);
    console.log(myAge2);
    console.log(myAge3);
};
myFunction();
