Study Notes
Scope in JavaScript
- Scope defines where variables and functions are accessible
- Types of scopes:
- Global scope: Variables/functions are accessible throughout the entire program
- File/Module scope: Accessible only within the file/module
- Function scope: Accessible only within the function where it's defined
- Block scope: Accessible only within the block of code where it's defined (using
letorconst)
Block Scoped Variables
constandletvariables are block-scoped- They are only accessible within the block of code where they are declared (including nested blocks)
- Trying to access a block-scoped variable outside its block will result in a
ReferenceError
Global Variables
- Variables declared outside of blocks or functions are global
- Accessible throughout the entire program
- Best practice to minimize global variables for better code organization and management
