INSIGHT

JavaScript Scope

  • JavaScript has different scope levels: global, local, and enclosing.
  • Global scope is accessible everywhere, while local scope is confined to blocks like functions and if statements.
INSIGHT

Local Scope and Blocks

  • Local scope is created by curly brackets, except in objects.
  • let and const have block scope, while var has function scope.
ADVICE

Prefer let and const

  • Use let or const over var for better predictability.
  • Block-scoped variables make code easier to reason about by containing variable usage within specific blocks.
