let, var and

const - ES6
let
• 'let' allows you to declare variables that are
mutable, meaning their values can be
reassigned.

• It's perfect for situations where you need to


update or reassign a variable's value within its
scope.

• Used in loops and conditionals


Const
• 'const' declares variables that are immutable -
once assigned, their values cannot be changed.

• This provides a sense of security, ensuring that


critical values remain constant throughout your
code.

• Used when defining values like configuration


settings, mathematical constants, or references
to objects.
Var
• Variables declared with var are function- scoped
or globally scoped, but they are not block-scoped.

• Var variables can be re-declared and updated


within their scope.

• Since var doesn't have block scope, it can lead to


unintended issues when used in loops and
conditionals.
Aim for
Immutability
• While 'let' and 'const' offer distinct
advantages, embracing immutability whenever
possible can lead to more predictable and bug-
resistant code.

• Favor 'const' for values that shouldn't change


and leverage techniques like object.freeze) for
immutable objects.
