|  | ## Local Scope and Functions
 | ||
|  |

|  | Local scope means that the variable is available within a certain area. In the case of this exercise, `myVar` is only available within the function, and not anywhere outside.  | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Here is the basic code solution to create a local `myVar` variable. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```javascript | ||
|  | function myLocalScope() { | ||
|  |   var myVar; | ||
|  |   console.log(myVar); | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | myLocalScope(); | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | The variable only exists in the function. Outside the function, it is non-existent. |
