Create a Variable: let

 VARIABLES

As mentioned in the previous exercise, the let keyword was introduced in ES6. The let keyword signals that the variable can be reassigned a different value. Take a look at the example:

let meal = 'Enchiladas';
console.log(meal); // Output: Enchiladas
meal = 'Burrito';
console.log(meal); // Output: Burrito

Another concept that we should be aware of when using let (and even var) is that we can declare a variable without assigning the variable a value. In such a case, the variable will be automatically initialized with a value of undefined:

let price;
console.log(price); // Output: undefined
price = 350;
console.log(price); // Output: 350

Notice in the example above:

  • If we don’t assign a value to a variable declared using the let keyword, it automatically has a value of undefined.
  • We can reassign the value of the variable.
Instructions:

1.Create a let variable called changeMe and set it equal to the boolean true.
2.On the line after changeMe is declared, set the value of changeMe to be the boolean false.

To check if changeMe was reassigned, log the value saved to changeMe to the console.


Solution:-

let changeMe = true;
changeMe = false;
console.log(changeMe); // false

String Interpolation(*** Template Literals***)

  VARIABLES String Interpolation In the ES6 version of JavaScript, we can insert, or  interpolate , variables into strings using  template literals . Check out the following example where a template literal is used to log strings together: const myPet =  'armadillo' ; console . log ( `I own a pet ${ myPet } .` ); // Output: I own a pet armadillo. Notice that: a template literal is wrapped by backticks  `  (this key is usually located on the top of your keyboard, left of the  1  key). Inside the template literal, you’ll see a placeholder,  ${myPet} . The value of  myPet  is inserted into the template literal. When we interpolate  `I own a pet ${myPet}.` , the output we print is the string:  'I own a pet armadillo.' One of the biggest benefits to using template literals is the readability of the code. Using template literals, you can more easily tell what the new string will be. You also don’t have to worry a...
