## Description
<section id='description'>

Use the `let` keyword to create a variable named `currentWeapon`. Don't set it equal to anything yet. Notice that we already have a `currentWeapon` variable from earlier. Since the `let` keyword is used instead of `var`, this new version of `currentWeapon` is scoped only to this `if` statement. At the close of the `if` statement, the old version of `currentWeapon` will be used again.

tests:
  - text: See description above for instructions.
    testString: assert(code.match(/if\s*\(\s*inventory\.length\s*\>\s*1\s*\)\s*\{\s*(.\s*)*let\s*currentWeapon\;?/)); # match code as toString() changes let and const to var
