Answers for "diffrence between let const var"

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 var and let and const in javascript

var variable1 // declared using var
const variable2 // declared using const

myFunction1();

function myFunction1() {
  variable1 = "hello!";
  console.log(variable1);
  // "hello!"
}

myFunction2();

function myFunction2() {
  variable2 = "hello!";
  // error: variable2 is a constant and can not be redifined
}

myFunction3(true);

myFunction3(codition) {
  if(condition) {
    let variable3 = "helo!" // declared using const
  }
  variable3 = "hello!";
  // error: variable3 is out of scope
}

/*

Therefore, 
  
  var:
    -can be declared outside any function to be used inside any function
    -can be declared inside any function or any other {} which are of only if or if-else or switch etc. and can be used anywhere inside the function
    -can be changed again and again anywhere
  let:
    -can be declared outside any function to be used inside any function
    -if declared inside any function or any other {} which are of only if or if-else or switch etc. and can't be used anywhere inside the function and can be only used inside statement
    - can be changed again and again only inside the statement in which they are made in
    const:
    -can be declared outside any function to be used inside any function
    -can be declared inside any function or any other {} which are of only if or if-else or switch etc. and can be used anywhere inside the function
    -cannot be changed again and agan anywhere, if tried to, will result in an error
