JavaScript

This step requires the use of var. I thought var is obsolete and I should use let or const instead. Please advise.

I updated your post to inlcude the challenge link.

But var is not necessarily obsolete.
It just has some interesting behaviors that let and const don’t share and that is why it is preferred to use those.

But when learning JavaScript, it is important that you understand that var exists and what it does before moving onto let and const.
The first few lessons use var but then replace it with let and const.

Hope that helps :+1:
