Also, if you intend to eventually change or update the values of your variables, choose 'let'. Otherwise, keep 'const'.
As you might have learned earlier in the course, 'var' is no longer used due to scoping reasons. Meaning, it can be seen inside or outside code blocks and could potentially harm your code by changing values of your 'var' unintentionally.
Let example:
let x = 1;
let z = 2;
x + z = 3;
x = 2;
x+ z = 5;
Const example: const x = 2; const z = 5; x = 10; // this will return as undefined x + z = 7;
Assign a number to variable x,
x =
