Can re-declaring a variable destroy the value of that variable in JavaScript?
Re-declaring a variable will not destroy the value of a variable, until and unless it is assigned with some other new value.
If we look at the following example variables "x" and ''y'' were assigned with values 4 and 8 respectively, later on when those variables were reassigned, the old values were replaced with the new values and displayed as shown in the output.
Example
<html> <body> <script> var x = new Number(4); var x = 7; var y = 8; var y = 10; document.write(x); document.write("</br>"); document.write(y); </script> </body> </html>
Output
7 10
In the following example, the variables were re-declared, but their values were not reassigned. Therefore those variables retained their original values.
Example
<html> <body> <script> var x = new Number(4); var x; var y = 8; var y; document.write(x); document.write("</br>"); document.write(y); </script> </body> </html>
Output
4 8
