Summary  
This chapter explains how to declare and manage mutable (`let`) versus immutable (`const`) variables in JavaScript and outlines best practices for clear, descriptive naming.

General domain of usage  
Game development (e.g., tracking player scores and maximum players)

Variables let you store data that can change, while constants store values that should stay the same.
Use:
- `let`: when the value can change;
- `const`: when the value should not change.

let score = 10;
score = 15; // value can change
console.log(score);

const maxPlayers = 4;
// maxPlayers = 5; // ❌ error

### Best Practices
- Use `const` by default;
- Use `let` only when needed;


## Naming Variables
Use clear and descriptive names:
```js
let playerScore = 100;
let maxLevel = 10;
```
Avoid:
- Starting with numbers;
- Reserved words;
- Unclear names like `x` or `data`.


### Why This Matters
Variables are the foundation of everything in JavaScript.
You'll use them to store user data, application state, and results.

Learn how to control program logic, structure data, and build dynamic features using JavaScript. Work with functions, arrays, objects, and loops, then apply these skills to create an interactive profile system. Gain the core knowledge needed to move into React and modern frontend development.

Apply your knowledge in a mini project, learn debugging basics, and prepare for your next steps in JavaScript.
