js var vs const

//var variables can be re-declared and updated
    var greeter = "hey hi";
    var greeter = "say Hello instead";
//it becomes a problem when you do not realize that a variable 
//greeter has already been defined before.

//const declarations are block scoped
//const cannot be updated or re-declared
	const greeting = "say Hi";
	greeting = "say Hello instead";// error: Assignment to constant variable. 

	const greeting = "say Hi";
	const greeting = "say Hello instead";// error: Identifier 'greeting' has already been declared

var or const in javascript

// var declares a variable, meaning its value will vary. 
// const declares a constant, meaning its value will remain 
// consistant and not change. 
// If your variable changes throughout the program or website, 
// declare it using a var statement. 
// Otherwise, if its value does not change, declare it using 
// a const statement. 

const myConst='A const does not change.';

var myVar='A var does change.';

var myVar=2;
