JavaScript Variables and Constants :
1. JavaScript Variables :
 A JavaScript variable is a container for storing
data. For example,
Let num = 5;
Here, num is a variable that stores the number
5.

2. Declaring variables in JavaScript :


 In JavaScript, we use [var] or [let] keywords to
declare variables. For example,
Var age;
Let name;
Here, age and name are variables.

What is Difference between var and let :


 Both var and let are used to declare variables.
However, there are some differences between
them
var Let

version of JavaScript. declaring variables,
starting with ES6
(ES2015).
Variables created with Variables declared with
var are function-scoped, let are block-scoped,
meaning they can be meaning they can only

were defined in. declared.
For example, var x; For example, let y;
3. Initialize Variables in JavaScript :
 We use assignment operator “=” to assign a
value to a variable.
//declare variable num
Let num;
//assign 5 to num
Num = 5;

 Here 5 is assign to the variable num.


 We can also initialize variables during the
declaration.
// declare variable num1 and assign 5 to it.
Let num1 = 5;
// declare variable num2 and assign 6 to it.
Let num2 = 6;

4. Change the value of variables :


 The value of variable may vary. Hence, the
name variable.

5. Rules for Naming JavaScript Variables :


 Variable names must start with a letter, an
underscore( _ ), the dollar sign ( $ ).
 Variables cannot start with numbers.
 Variables names are case-sensitive. So ‘age’
and ‘Age’ are different variables.
 Variable names cannot be keywords(Special
words reserved for specific purposes in
JavaScript such as ‘if’ , ‘else’ , ‘let’ , ‘var’ etc.).

JavaScript Constants :
 A constant is a type of variable whose value cannot
be changed.
 In JavaScript we used ‘const’ keyword to create
constants.
