[`const`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/const) is block-scoped. Which means that `const` can be only accessed inside the block-scope that it were declared in. Block-scope means code enclosed 
by Curly braces `{}`. Functions are also blocks.

If you really want to use `const`, so the solution is to define the variable outside the block-scope (In other words, outside the function).

Here is an example:

```javascript
const variable = "Hello!";

function Text() {
    console.log(variable); // Hello - Inside the block scope
}

Text(); // Fire the function

console.log(variable); // Hello - Outside the block scope
```

In the above example, the variable has been defined globally, so this means that it will work everywhere.

The same above explantion and example will work with [`let`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/let) as well since `let` is also block-scoped.
