Still getting errors

Still getting this error: Identifier 'name' has already been declared I've tried reviewing the code from the instructor's video countless times and still can't see what mistake I've made in this to prevent it from working as it does in the class video.

const name = prompt("What is your name?");

let message = "Hello " + name + ". Welcome to my music site. ";

message += "I'm so happy that you came by to visit, ";

message += name;

message += ". Feel free to come again and listen to more music!";

console.log(message);

I assume, you are coding in Chrome Dev Tool. Const is prevention to declare the variable name twice in the Dev Tool,even though you clear the console.In order to prevent this error,you just enclose your code in curly braces it prevents to ressaign your const twice. If you don't want to include curly braces {} use let. Everything in your code is perfect.Just keep going😃

{
const name = prompt("What is your name?");

let message = "Hello " + name + ". Welcome to my music site. ";

message += "I'm so happy that you came by to visit, ";

message += name;

message += ". Feel free to come again and listen to more music!";

console.log(message);
}
