### **Variables in JavaScript:**

Variables in JavaScript are used to store data values. You can think of them as
containers that hold different types of information. To declare a variable in
JavaScript, you can use the `var`, `let`, or `const` keywords.

1. **`var` :**
- `var` was traditionally used for variable declaration, but it has some scope
issues and is less commonly used now.

```jsx
var age = 19; // Declaring a variable 'age' and assigning it a value of 19
age = 20; // You can change the value of a 'var' variable

```

2. **`let`:**
- `let` allows you to declare block-scoped variables, which means they are only
- accessible within the block (e.g., inside a function or loop) where they are
defined.

```jsx
let name = "Ganta Mukesh";
let age = 19;

```

3. **`const`:**
- `const` is used to declare constants. Once a value is assigned to a `const`,
it cannot be changed.

```jsx
const pi = 3.14159;

```

**Data Types in JavaScript:**

JavaScript has several data types to represent different kinds of values. These
data types include:
1. **Primitive Data Types:**

a. **String:**

- Represents textual data and is enclosed in single or double quotes.

```jsx
let name = "Dodagatta Nihar";

```

b. **Number:**

- Represents both integer and floating-point numbers.

```jsx
let age = 19;
let price = 19.69;
```

c. **Boolean:**

- Represents `true` or `false` values.

```jsx
let isStudent = true;
let isAdmin = false;

```

d. **Undefined:**

- Represents a variable that has been declared but hasn't been assigned a
value.

```jsx
let x;
console.log(x); // This will output 'undefined'

```

e. **Null:**

- Represents the intentional absence of any object value.

```jsx
let emptyValue = null;

```

2. **Reference Data Types:**

a. **Object:**

- Used to store collections of key-value pairs. Objects are created using curly
braces `{}`.

```jsx
let person = {
name: "Bob",
age: 30,
};

```

b. **Array:**

- Used to store ordered collections of values. Arrays are created using square
brackets `[]`.
let colors = ["red", "green", "blue"];
**Function:**

- Functions are objects and can be assigned to variables, passed as arguments, and
returned from other functions.

```jsx
function greet(name) {
return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

```

These are the fundamental concepts of variables and data types in JavaScript.
Understanding these concepts is essential for writing effective and flexible
JavaScript code.
