JavaScript var const and let

-

Signification and let are new JavaScript methods of declaring a variables on modern browser's you don't need to enable strict mode to make use of const, and let

What's the difference between var , let and const
Immutability when you declare a variable using const its value is immutable ie you can't simply reassign the variable with another value neither can you declare const variables as
const variable, another;
because it's pointless afterall

scope of this
let variable decelerations are block scoped therefore if used in an if statement or in a function its value is scoped within that block

Ways of iterating Object properties in JavaScript

-
For Objects the ways of iterating their properties are not that plentiful as with Arrays. take for instance we have an object of dogs and cat characteristics const pets = { {name: " Jenny ", eyes: "brown"}, {name: "max", eyes: "blue"} } To iterate through the characteristics using for loop for (pet in pets) {     console.log(`${pets[pet].name} has eye color ${pets[pet].eyes}`} } Alternatively you can use objects.keys and object. entries for (element in Object.entries(elements)) }

JavaScript introduction to variables
