Hi,
I have been studying JavaScript and while reading the PDF Eloquent JavaScript it mentions how you should use let instead of var. I noticed everyone that teaches JavaScript is always using var.
Am i missing something?
You should use let or const. Var is older syntax which still works, but is subpar to let/const. Usually when you see tutorials using var it is either because they are old or because the creators havn’t made the transition to ES6 yet.

It is preferred to use const/let over var because block scoping gives benefits over function scope.
It is also preferred to use const over let, as that helps to make the code more reliable.
