JavaScript var vs let vs const: Scope, Reassignment, and Hoisting

The classic JavaScript interview question: var vs. let vs. const. 🤯 It’s one of the first concepts we learn in modern JavaScript, yet the nuances of scope and hoisting still trip developers up during technical interviews. Understanding when to use which keyword isn't just about passing an interview; it's about writing cleaner, bug-free code. I put together this quick grid reference guide to visualize the key differences once and for all. The breakdown covers: 📦 Scope: Function vs. Block scope. 🔄 Reassignment: Can you change the value later? ⬆️ Hoisting: Does it get moved to the top, and does the Temporal Dead Zone (TDZ) apply? 👉 Save this post for your next quick refresher! Which is your default: const or let?
