Variable in Javascript

JavaScript variables are storage locations that can be classified as either global or local. Global variables are accessible throughout the code, while local variables are confined to the function in which they are declared. Variables can be declared using 'let', 'const', or 'var', with each having different scoping and hoisting behaviors.

Variable in javascript

• Variable simply mean a name of storage location.


• There are two types of variables in JavaScript : local variable and
global variable
TYPES OF JAVASCRIPT VARIABLES
• Global Variables
• Variables declared out of any function are called global variables.
They can be accessed anywhere in the JavaScript code, even inside
any function.
• Local Variables
• Variables declared inside the function are called local variables of that
function. They can only be accessed in the function where they are
declared but not outside.
Points to Remember
• Variables can be defined using let keyword. Variables defined
without let or var keyword become global variables.
• Variables should be initialized before accessing it. Unassigned variable
has value undefined.
• JavaScript is a loosely-typed language, so a variable can store any type
value.
• Variables can have local or global scope. Local variables cannot be
accessed out of the function where they are declared, whereas the
global variables can be accessed from anywhere.
Variables Declaration in JS
• There are three ways to define a variable in JavaScript −
• let − The JavaScript Let keyword introduced in 2015 allows us to define
block scoped variables. Variables declared using let are not hoisted.
<script>
let x = 10;
let y = 6;
let z = x + y;
alert("The value of z is: " + z);
</script>
• const − The const declarations create variables that cannot be
reassigned to some other value or redeclared later.
<script>
const x = 5;
const y = 25;
const z = x + y;
alert("The value of z is: " + z);
</script>
• var − The JavaScript var keyword is used for creating function scoped
variables and are hoisted.
• Hoisting is a JavaScript mechanism where variables and function
declarations are moved to the top of their scope before code execution.
<script>
var x = 10;
var y = 20;
var z = x + y;
Alert("The value of z is: " + z);
</script>
