google chrome - Snippets - Identifier has already been declared

Question

I wrote this in a Chrome snippet:

let myVar = someValue;
 

And when I try to run it 2nd time, it says the variable has already been declared and throws an error at first line.

The error is:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Identifier 'myVar' has already been declared at :1:1

And of course, this would be the default behavior for the Console but it doesn't seem to make much sense here..

Is this intended? Is there any way around this?

Answer 1

Use block scope and wrap it in '{}'.
