11. #CD22 Block-level declarations Classes Modules Arrow functions Promises 5 modern JavaScript (ES6) features

12. #CD22 Declare variables/constants that are inaccessible outside a given block scope ( indicated by curly brackets { and } ) let: declare a variable and limit its scope to only the current code block. const: declare constants, their value cannot be changed once set. Block-level declarations

13. #CD22 Apex: variable scope

18. #CD22 Apex: constants

21. #CD22 ES6: let and const

22. #CD22 ES6: let and const Scope 1 Scope 1

26. #CD22 ES6: let and const Scope 2 Scope 2

29. #CD22 Similarities: ES6 classes support: static functions, instance methods, getters and setters, inheritance. Differences: No access modifiers in ES6’s classes. Private field declarations available in ECMAScript 2022 Constructors in ES6 use the keyword ‘constructor’. ES6 classes vs Apex classes
