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.
