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.

Difference between let and var in javascript

let a = 'hello'; // globally scoped
var b = 'world'; // globally scoped
console.log(window.a); // undefined
console.log(window.b); // 'world'
var a = 'hello';
var a = 'world'; // No problem, 'hello' is replaced.
let b = 'hello';
let b = 'world'; // SyntaxError: Identifier 'b' has already been declared
