Storing Data

Scope

Overview

  • Local
  • Global
  • Nested Scopes
  • Precedence
  • Block Scope

Local Scope

var func = function(){
  var local = true;
};

console.log(local);
var x = 'global!';
var x = 'global!';

//inside a function
function encapsulate(){

z = 'global here, too!';

}
var x = 'global!';

//inside a function
function encapsulate(){
  z = 'global here, too!';

  window.y = 'also global!';
}

Global Scope

Parent vs Child Scope

var g = 'global'; 

function blender(fruit) { 
  var b = fruit; 
  var y = 'yogurt';
 
  function bs() { 
    alert( b + ' and ' + y + ' makes ' + b + ' swirl'); 
  } 
  bs();

blender('blueberry');

Privacy
