const
Stands for constant
These are variables for which its value does not change after it has been assigned an initial value
This help make your code easier to debug and protects certain values from accidentally being overridden in your codebase
const
are the same as let
but with one key difference, values can only be assigned once to a const
variable
// declare a const named 'school'
const school = "General Assembly";
An error will occur if you try to update the value of a const
// correctly declare a constant using "const" keyword
const greeting = "Hello";
// const values cannot be updated, if you attempt to do so
// an error will occur
greeting = "Good Morning"; // this will throw an error
