E0004: assignment to const variable before its declaration

You cannot reassign variables declared with const, and you cannot reference a variable declared with const above its declaration. The assignment will crash with a ReferenceError if you run the code.

let timeElapsed = 31;

let pie = "cooking";
if (timeElapsed > 30) {
  pi = "cooked";
}
const pi = 3.14;

To fix this error, assign to a different variable or declare a new variable with a different name:

let timeElapsed = 31;

let pie = "cooking";
if (timeElapsed > 30) {
  pie = "cooked";
}
const pi = 3.14;
