Study Notes
Scoping and Scope in JavaScript
- Scoping determines how variables are organized and accessed within a program. Essentially, it answers the question, "Where can we access a particular variable?"
- Lexical scoping means that a variable's scope is determined by its physical location within code.
- Scope represents the region where a variable is declared. It can be global scope, function scope, or block scope
- Scope of a variable is the specific region of the code where a variable is accessible.
-
Execution Context is a special environment that contains three important components:
- Variable environment: This stores all the variables declared within the context.
- Scope chain: This is used to look up the value of a variable.
- this keyword: This refers to the object that is executing the current code.
