{{Main|Variable (programming)}}
[[Variable (programming)|Variable]]s in standard JavaScript have no [[Type system|type]] attached, so any value (each ''value'' has a type) can be stored in any variable. Starting with [[ECMAScript#6th Edition – ECMAScript 2015|ES6]], the 6th version of the language, variables could be declared with <code>var</code> for function scoped variables, and <code>let</code> or <code>const</code> which are for [[block scope|block level]] variables. Before ES6, variables could only be declared with a <code>var</code> statement. Values assigned to variables declared with <code>const</code> cannot be changed, but its properties can. <code>var</code> should no longer be used since <code>let</code> and <code>const</code> are supported by modern browsers.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-05-09 |title=Storing the information you need — Variables - Learn web development {{!}} MDN |url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/Variables |access-date=2023-06-23 |website=developer.mozilla.org |language=en-US}}</ref> A variable's [[Identifier (computer languages)|identifier]] must start with a letter, underscore (<code>_</code>), or dollar sign (<code>$</code>), while subsequent characters can also be digits (<code>0-9</code>). JavaScript is case sensitive, so the uppercase characters "A" through "Z" are different from the lowercase characters "a" through "z".
