You should use "let" when you sure that containing value wouldn't change. It is a constant (like number Pi or else). "let" help us use system memory better

var is a variable , which changes but let is a constant , which doesn't change

var declares a variable whose contents can be changed whereas let declares a constant that connot be changed (i.e. let myFirstName = Scott vs var myFavoriteColorToday = Blue). Its unlikely that I'll change my first name but it's quite possible that I might choose a new favorite color.

let will be used when you are sure there is no change in value like universal truth or mathematical equations for example π=3.14, it will never change. var will be used for normal variables

simply, (let) is used when you define a constant wich eventually will hold a fixed value. and var is used when you define a variable that will change its value

Basically, things like someone's age is "var", someone's gender is a "let"

let π = 3.14 // It is a constant and we should use let keyword to avoid changing it by accident or sonething like that.

If you use let, the value can't be changed If you use var, it can
