Block Scope of Constants

Declaring a variable with the const keyword is similar to declaring a variable with the let keyword when it comes to Block Scope, for example.

The personName declared in the block, in this example, is not the same as the personName declared outside the block:

const personName = "Mike";
if (2 > 1){
const personName = "Smith";
}
console.log(personName)

              
12345

            
const  personName = "Mike";
if (2 > 1){
    const  personName = "Smith";
}
console.log(personName)
copy

We gave you a good understanding of block-scope but it is not a good practice to use the same name inside and outside the code block.

Constants are Assigned Values at the time of Declaration

In JavaScript, we can initialize variables in one line and assign them values in the next line with the let and the var keywords but we cannot do that with the const keyword, and if we do so, we get an error, for example.

let age;
age = 23;
console.log(age)
var height;
height = 5;
console.log(height);

              
123456

            
let  age;
age = 23;
console.log(age)
var  height;
height = 5;
console.log(height);
copy

But with const we get an error.

const PI;
PI = 3.14159265359;
console.log(PI);

              
123

            
const  PI;
PI = 3.14159265359;
console.log(PI);
copy
