You may want to review lesson 56 of the sololearn JavaScript course. in short: var is global and value can be changed const is global and cannot be change after initializing let is local

That depends on the scope: local vs. global. If you don't need to access it in a different scope, keep it local.

precisely: var is a keyword to declare a variable that is available to top level local group and its children like function b inside a function a, if variable declared in function b it be available to function a but not globally unless defined outside of any group like not in wrapped in any brackets const on the other hand works like let but its immutable so you can't change it after its been assigned a value let works only in its own local group and its children similar to function b in function a, but variable declared in b as let won't be accessible in function a examples: function main() { if (1==1) { var a = 1 let b = 1 console.log(a) console.log(b) } console.log(a) // 1 console.log(b) // ReferenceError because b is a variable declared as "let" inside the if block }
