Should you use LET or VAR in JavaScript?

In this informative video, we explore the differences between the var and let keywords in JavaScript and their impact on variable declaration. If you've ever wondered about the distinction between these two keywords and when to use each one, this video is for you.

When it comes to declaring variables that can be changed later, both var and let serve that purpose. However, the key difference lies in scoping. let, similar to const, is block-scoped, whereas var is function-scoped.

Through practical code examples, we demonstrate how the scoping behavior of let and var affects variable accessibility. With let, variables declared inside a block are limited to that block and inaccessible outside of it. On the other hand, var variables declared within a block can be accessed outside of it.

We highlight the potential pitfalls of using var in certain scenarios, such as unintentional side effects and bugs that can arise from global variable declarations. By understanding the scoping differences, you'll be able to make more informed decisions when writing JavaScript code.

Join us in this video to gain a clear understanding of when to use var and when to opt for let, and learn how to avoid common issues associated with variable scoping.
