SyntaxError: Missing initializer in const declaration
Error message
SyntaxError: Missing initializer in const declaration
What broke
You attempted to declare a constant variable using 'const' without providing an initial value. In JavaScript, 'const' requires that a variable be initialized at the time of declaration.
Why it broke
The root cause is that 'const' variables must always be initialized to a value, as they cannot be reassigned later. Failing to provide an initializer violates this rule.
How to fix
To fix this error, ensure that you provide an initial value when declaring the const variable. For example, you can assign a number, string, or any other value at the time of declaration.
