    Const, Let, and Var

    In ES6 and beyond, Javascript will give us 3 options for creating variables. The 3 options are Const, Let, and Var. Var has been around as long as Javascript whereas Let and Const are newly available via ES6. Var variables are created with functional scope and this can cause a lot of problems in your
