Var, let & Const are used to declare variables, objects and constants in JavaScript.

Var

Var keyword has been used for a longtime for variable declaration.
It is Function Scoped, it makes variables accessible only within the function boundary where it is declared.
Take a look at this snippet

function getX(){     var x = 1; } getX(); console.log(x)  //ReferenceError: x is not defined  

You can re-declare same variable in same scope with Var.

if (true){     var x = 2;     var x = 3; } console.log(x)  // 3 

Let

Let was introduced in ES6ECMAScript2015.
It is Block Scoped, any code written within {} is said to be in a Block. So, that's the restriction that ECMA wanted to implement with let, making variables inaccessible outside the block.

function exampleLet() {   if (true) {     let y = 20;   }   console.log(y); // Error: y is not defined } 

Also, you cannot re-declare same variable within the same scope.

if (true){     let x = 2;     let x = 3; } // SyntaxError: Identifier 'x' has already been declared 

Const

Const as the name suggests is used to declare Constants.
Declaration with consts are *Block Scoped *
Constant needs to be initialized at the time of declaration, else it throws Syntax error
Re-assigning or re-declaration is not allowed, it throws Syntax or Type Error.
Check out the snippet below

if (true){     const x; } // SyntaxError: Missing initializer in const declaration  if (true){     const x = 1;     x = 2; // TypeError: Assignment to constant variable. }  if (true){     const x = 1;     const x = 2; }  // SyntaxError: Identifier 'x' has already been declared  const x = 2; if (true){     const x = 1; } // Output : x = 2 

Strict Mode

A feature introduced in ES5, it enforces stricter parsing and error handling.

To enable strict mode, you need to put _use strict;_ at the beginning of code or function block.

// Global variable var globalVar = "I'm a global variable";  function baz() {   var localVar = "I'm a local variable";   console.log(localVar); // Accessible inside the function    if (true) {     let blockVar = "I'm a block-scoped variable";     console.log(blockVar); // Accessible inside the block   }   // console.log(blockVar); // Error: blockVar is not defined (not accessible outside the block) }
