JavaScript Variables

In a programming language, variables are used to store data values.

JavaScript uses the keywords var,let and const to declare variables.

Types of Scopes :

Different between Var,let and Const

Var:
var keyword is not used because in function method.It acts a local variable.But in if it acts as a global variable.It also Redeclared again and again it affect the readability .

Let:
We can't redeclare but we can reinitialize
