Javascript const

Formally introduced in ES6, const was introduced in JavaScript 1.5 and was a Mozilla-specific extension and not part of ECMAScript 5.

Unfortunately, support cannot be retrofitted to older browsers with a polyfill, supported by IE11+, Edge 12+, Firefox 36+, Chrome 21+, Safari 5.1+. If you still need to support older browsers or devices you may want to stick with var.

NOTE: some initial implementations may have thrown different exceptions on reassignment, were not limited in scope, or treated const like ‘var‘.

Name may start with letter, underscore or $ character.

Ternary Operators and Assignment

Ternary operators, if not abused, can make code easier to follow once you grasp the concept. While normally used for assignment, they can also be used to control program flow. The keys to this are the condition, question mark and colon that identify the condition and results.


var foo = (some_condition) ? then_code : else_code;
