Const and let were introduced in ES2015 to declare block scoped variables. While variables declared using let can be reassigned, they cannot be reassigned if they were declared using const.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Document</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}
.result,.sample {
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: 500;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Const and let in JavaScript</h1>
<div class="sample"></div>
<div style="color: green;" class="result"></div>
<button class="Btn">CLICK HERE</button>
<h3>Click on the above button to reassign const and let value</h3>
<script>
let resEle = document.querySelector(".result");
let sampleEle = document.querySelector(".sample");
let a = 22;
const b = 44;
sampleEle.innerHTML = "let a = " + a + " ";
sampleEle.innerHTML += "const b = " + b;
document.querySelector(".Btn").addEventListener("click", () => {
a = 99;
resEle.innerHTML = "Reassigning a = " + a + " ";
try {
changeB();
}
catch (err) {
resEle.innerHTML += "Reassigning b = " + err;
