7: How to Create Variables in JavaScript | JavaScript Tutorial | Learn JavaScript | mmtuts 

No "var" is still usable in the exact same way as before. Of cause we now have "let" which is nearly identical to "var" (minus the issue with scope declaration), but because so many existing websites today still has "var" used in them we still need to learn about "var". And I'm also sure there are still websites today being produced where "var" is still being used. But yes if you are asking me why I'm focusing on "var" in this lesson, it is because it is tough to talk about how "let" benefits the code when I haven't taught about scopes, loops or functions yet. But once I get there I will make sure to do a great episode on "let" and "const" ;) And mention that it should be considered to use it instead of "var".

Let the saga begin Not so far away, and not so long ago in a land called Code, there was a king and his name was Var. He ruled over many lands. He was a good king but he had some problems. One of the kingdoms King Var ruled over had become very tired of King Var problems. This land was called JavaScript. One day in the land of JavaScript, some Integers, Sub Strings, and Boolean declared in a common statement, Var is King, Long live King Var, but throughout the kingdom of JavaScript there was silence. The land of JavaScript had chosen new rulers. A king and a Queen named King Let and Queen Const. Now what will become of the land of JavaScript, and their relationship to the other nations in the land of Code. What will become of their special partnership with the land of The Internet where King Var rules with an iron fist with Baron Von PSP. What about all the poor scribes, who will they follow? Will they follow King Var who they are familiar with, or the unfamiliar King Let who shares his power with Queen Const, whose time and paths are mostly unproven, and disconnected with the past. All of this will need to be fixed and rewritten. Here begins our mighty story. Let the saga begin.

you have way too much time on your hands

LOL let theSaga = "begin"; //place hold till future time { null (); } Great stuff you have here, I'm so glad to have found your channel. you have a great gift at explaining things that can be rather confusing, and boring, in a clear, concise, and interesting way. kudos to you.

Please can you help me solve my problem? In JavaScript, when I write the word name then it council it doesn't work as a variable

I 100% agree with that .. Daniel has didatics.

Thank you :) that means a lot to me to hear and I am glad you enjoy learning. That's how you get the most out of it!

Yes you are absolutely right :) it sorta goes without saying that "var" (something that can varie in value), of cause can't be constant. I have a habbit of grouping var, let and const together, as "types of variables" since they are all similar tools used to store data.

Awesome! :D

The videos are still perfectly viable :)

Also following

I explained it at that exact time stamp hehe. 🙂 Yes it did get declared automatically, and I explain further in a later video. If you wanna find that video, it’s the one about “hoisting”.

Same, need help

Yes 🙂 I also get to that a few episodes later I believe

@@Dani_Krossing thank you
