javascript_variables's Issues

README.md instructions differ from lesson instructions

The exercise instructions in README.md are different from the instructions listed on the lesson page.

Following the instructions in the README.md will cause one to create a syntax error (by declaring a const without assigning a value to it) and to leave out a few of the steps of the exercise.
