Feature var let
Scope Function-scoped. Accessible within the function, even outside blocks. Block-scoped. Accessible only within the block where it is declared.
Hoisting Hoisted and initialized with undefined. Can be accessed before declaration. Hoisted but not initialized. Accessing before declaration throws a ReferenceError.
Re-declaration Allows re-declaration within the same scope. Does not allow re-declaration within the same scope.
Global Object Property

Becomes a property of the global object (window in browsers).

Does not become a property of the global object.
Usage Recommendation Older JavaScript (ES5) code, but prone to bugs due to scope issues. Preferred for modern JavaScript (ES6+) due to better scoping rules and safety
