Tell us what’s happening:
Hello, I just did not understand the real difference between const and let

Your code so far


function printManyTimes(str) {
"use strict";

// Only change code below this line

const SENTENCE = str + " is cool!";
for (let i = 0; i < str.length; i+=2) {
  console.log(SENTENCE);
}

// Only change code above this line

}
printManyTimes("freeCodeCamp");
