Scopes Discussion

1. What is the scope of variable GLOBAL_DATA in the example below:

<script>
  let GLOBAL_DATA = { value : 1};
</script>

Pretend in the console, that we type: console.log(GLOBAL_DATA);

2. What is the scope of variable x in the examples below:

let x = 1;
{ 
  let x = 2;
}
console.log(x);
var x = 1;
{ 
  var x = 2;
}
console.log(x);

3. What is the scope of variable x in the examples below:

function outerFn(){
    let x = 1;
    function log(){
      console.log(x);
    };
    function run(fn){
      let x = 100;
      fn();
    }
    run(log);
};
outerFn();

4. What do we call this method of scoping:

let x0 = 0;
function fn1(){
  let x1 = 1;
  fn2();
  function fn2(){
    let x2 = 2;
    fn3();
    function fn3(){
      let x3 = 3;
      console.log(x0 + " " + x1 + " " + x2 + " " + x3);
    };
  };
};
fn1();

5. What is the difference between global scope and other scope types and when do we use the global scope?

6. What is the difference between let and var defining a variable?

7. What is the difference between strict mode and sloppy mode?

1. global scope
2. global scope when using let, error when using var (it have scope problems)
3. the main function scope (x=1)

1. global scope
2. will print out 1 and 2
3. its a function scope and will print out 1
4. Its called a lexical scoping
5. a global scope is when we can access a variable everywhere in our program but in a local scope it can only be accessed within a specific scope and cant be accessed from the outside. we use global scope when we need to access a variable everywhere.
