<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

let sampleEle = document.querySelector(".sample");
let a = 22;
const b = 44;
sampleEle.innerHTML = "let a = " + a + " ";
sampleEle.innerHTML += "const b = " + b;
document.querySelector(".Btn").addEventListener("click", () => {
a = 99;
resEle.innerHTML = "Reassigning a = " + a + " ";
try {
changeB();
}
catch (err) {
resEle.innerHTML += "Reassigning b = " + err;
}
