What is the scope of variables in JavaScript
The scope of a variable is the region of your program in which it is defined. JavaScript variables have only two scopes.
- Global Variables − A global variable has global scope which means it can be defined anywhere in your JavaScript code.
- Local Variables − A local variable will be visible only within a function where it is defined. Function parameters are always local to that function.
Within the body of a function, a local variable takes precedence over a global variable with the same name. If you declare a local variable or function parameter with the same name as a global variable, you effectively hide the global variable.
You can try to run the following code to learn how to work with scope of variables in JavaScript:
<html>
<body onload = checkscope();>
<script>
<!--
var myVar = "global"; // Declare a global variable
function checkscope( ) {
var myVar = "local"; // Declare a local variable
document.write(myVar);
}
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
