Variables are containers for storing data values.
You always declare javascript variables with var, let, and/or const The var keyword has been used in all Javascript code from 1995 up to 2015 The let and const keywords were added to Javascript in 2015. You must use var if you want to run your code in older browsers.
ALways declare variables with const if you want a general rule. Example of const const price1 = 5 const price 2= 6 let total = price1 + price2
Every javascript variable must be identified with unique names or identifiers. Identifiers can be short names like x or y or something more descriptive like age, sum, totalVloume. There are rules for making names for variables. The names have to contain letters,digits, underscores, and dollar signs. Names have to start with a letter Names can also begin with $ and _ Names are case sensitive. (y and Y are different variables) Reserved words like javascript cannot be used as names.
