Basic Javascript (50/111) | Local Scope and Functions | freeCodeCamp

"Variables which are declared within a function, as well as the function parameters have local scope. That means, they are only visible within that function.

Here is a function myTest with a local variable called loc.

function myTest() {
var loc = ""foo"";
}
myTest(); // logs ""foo""
loc is not defined outside of the function.

Note: The console will still have 'ReferenceError: myVar is not defined', but this will not cause the tests to fail."
