# Key points

- Comments are ignored by the program, but make our program easier to
read and understand.

- Primitive types are the basic building blocks of a program.

- Primitive types in JavaScript include strings, numbers and Booleans.

- Composite data types are structured collections of primitive data types.

- Composite data types in JavaScript include arrays and objects.

- Variables point to values stored in memory and are declared using the
`const` , `let` or `var` keywords.

- Values are assigned to variables using the `=` operator.

- The value of any variables declared using `const` can’t be changed.

- We can reassign values to variables that have been declared already using `let` or `var`.
