18: Hoisting in JavaScript Explained | What is Hoisting in JavaScript | JavaScript Tutorial

In this JavaScript tutorial you will learn about hoisting in JavaScript. Hoisting is a word you are very likely to run into at some point when coding JavaScript. Hoisting is a term we use to describe when some of the code is allocated space in the browser before the content is shown on a web page.

"Before run all the code, the browser first get all declarations, hoisting is the name of this process." The most simple explanation ever, thanks!

Hi, I’ve been studying JS for several months, my tutor couldn’t explain all this things. You instantiated all so intelligibly. Great tutorials man!!!

[StevenHoodlebrink]

You and Kyle from Web Dev Simplified are the best at explaining this. I've gone back and forth between your channels, as I've been trying to learn JS. Thank you for the explanations and for making it easier to learn.

Perennially appreciate, nice explanation:
Function types:
- Name function
- Anonymous function


- Name function is available defining any part of the source code ( included console log ) as well. Working properly.


- Anonymous function
variable name includes function and working well before ( console log etc.)

* BUT if change position, it cannot work as well. DEFINING FUNCTION is important ...

This was so helpful. It enabled me to understand why so much code is written the way it is ( 'anomalously' - for hoisting - and thus browser speed)

I have been trying to learn javascript for the past week or 2 from the odin project and it was hard to understand, so I thought, Dani had the best CSS tutorials so let me learn javascript from him. It's been 1 day and I know more valuable info feom you then 2 weeka of the odin project lol. Thanks for your awesome tutorials!!

[ashsharma]

Clear and precise explanation, thanks a lot for this video..

[calebperry]

I have been watching these javascript tutorials and have give me a better understanding of what I've been trying to teach myself. Thank you so much for making this series!

[adriatic]

Good explanations. only one tiny correction. JS engine doesn't put declarations to the top, but parser passes thru code three times, first time it sets declarations into memory etc.

[lucymcloughlin]

Phenomenal explanation! Your clarity is amazing. I also love that you delete irrelevant code, it makes it much easier to focus on the concept you're explaining.

[epic_waffle]

This is better than m javascript course I'm taking. Good job!

[bibekkhatri]

Your explanation is clear and concise.

[rachitmongia]

You are a genius when it comes to teaching and delivering the content!
Can you please tell under the hood difference between
1) var a = function = {
var a = 20;
return a;
}
and
let a = function = {
var a = 20;
return a;
}


2) var a = function = {
var a = 20;
return a;
}
and
var a = function = {
let a = 20;
return a;
}

Just wanna thank you for ur time making tutorials for beginners, can't wait till i finish this full course, and can start move to another chapter in JS, solving algorithmic challenges, I bet I can after all this course!

[elel]

Great Explanation. I think my code so far may be suffering from hoisting issues because pages take a while to load.

[geneartista]

Hope that you`ll comeback and add more advance javascript tutorials :) your one of the best teacher, i really mean it

[EmpySoul]

Thank u very much! It gets to the point! I was looking for a simple explanation, instead I only got explanations that confused me more.
