 In JavaScript, <dfn>scope</dfn> refers to the visibility of variables. Variables which are defined outside of a function block have <dfn>Global</dfn> scope. This means, they can be seen everywhere in your JavaScript code.
 
-Variables which are used without the `var` keyword are automatically created in the `global` scope. This can create unintended consequences elsewhere in your code or when running a function again. You should always declare your variables with `var`.
