<code>const</code> has all the awesome features that <code>let</code> has, with the added bonus that variables declared using <code>const</code> are read-only. They are a constant value, which means that once a variable is assigned with <code>const</code>, it cannot be reassigned.

As you can see, trying to reassign a variable declared with <code>const</code> will throw an error. You should always name variables you don't want to reassign using the <code>const</code> keyword. This helps when you accidentally attempt to reassign a variable that is meant to stay constant. A common practice when naming constants is to use all uppercase letters, with words separated by an underscore.

<strong>Note:</strong> It is common for developers to use uppercase variable identifiers for immutable values and lowercase or camelCase for mutable values (objects and arrays). In a later challenge you will see an example of a lowercase variable identifier being used for an array.
