Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 22,005 PointsWhich course introduces "constants" in JavaScript?
I'm on the Front End Development track and in the "JavaScript and the DOM" course, Guil uses constants in the lessons but without explaining what they are or how they are used. I've completed every course preceding this one and I can't recall constants ever being introduced. If anyone knows which course introduces constants, I'd really appreciate it.

It would also be the course Getting Started With ES2015.

They are just variables that can't be reassigned, and are declared with let or const instead of var.
I just had a quick look through the JavaScript Basics course and was not able to see it in there (ran a quick search on some of lesson transcripts). I did however find this resource on JavaScript constants which covers them well.
I realise this isn't a link to an internal video but it will provide you with a good understanding of constants.
Happy coding,
Dave.
