Variable in Java Script

JavaScript variables are containers for storing data and can be declared using four methods: automatically, var, let, and const. The var keyword was used until 2015, while let and const were introduced for better variable management. Identifiers, which are unique names for variables, must follow specific rules, including starting with a letter and being case-sensitive.

JavaScript Variables

Variables are Containers for Storing Data


JavaScript Variables can be declared in 4 ways:

 Automatically
 Using var
 Using let
 Using const

Example of Automatically:

x=10;
y=20;
z=x+y;
[Link](z);

output:

Variable Declaration using var

var x=10;
var y=20;
var z=x+y;
[Link]("sum is:",z);
Output

Variable Declaration using let

let x=10;
let y=20;
let z=x+y;
[Link]("sum is:",z);

output:

The var keyword was used in all JavaScript code from 1995 to 2015.

The let and const keywords were added to JavaScript in 2015.

The var keyword should only be used in code written for older browsers.
Variable declaration using const

const x=10;
x=x+2;
[Link](x);
var x=10;
[Link]("Outside block:"+x);

{
let x=100;
[Link]("inside block:"+x);

}
[Link](x);

output:
JavaScript Identifiers
All JavaScript variables must be identified with unique names.

These unique names are called identifiers. JavaScript identifiers are case-
sensitive.

Identifiers can be short names (like x and y) or more descriptive names


(age, sum, totalVolume).

The general rules for constructing names for variables (unique identifiers)
are:

 Names can contain letters, digits, underscores, and dollar signs.


 Names must begin with a letter.
 Names can also begin with $ and _ (but we will not use it in this
tutorial).
 Names are case sensitive (y and Y are different variables).
 Reserved words (like JavaScript keywords) cannot be used as names.
