--description--

In JavaScript, scope refers to the visibility of variables. Variables which are defined outside of a function block have Global 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.

--instructions--

Using var, declare a global variable named myGlobal outside of any function. Initialize it with a value of 10.

Inside function fun1, assign 5 to oopsGlobal without using the var keyword.

--hints--

myGlobal should be defined

assert(typeof myGlobal != 'undefined');

myGlobal should have a value of 10

assert(myGlobal === 10);

myGlobal should be declared using the var keyword

assert(/var\s+myGlobal/.test(code));

oopsGlobal should be a global variable and have a value of 5

assert(typeof oopsGlobal != 'undefined' && oopsGlobal === 5);

--before-user-code--

var logOutput = "";
var originalConsole = console
function capture() {
    var nativeLog = console.log;
    console.log = function (message) {
        logOutput = message;
        if(nativeLog.apply) {
          nativeLog.apply(originalConsole, arguments);
        } else {
          var nativeMsg = Array.prototype.slice.apply(arguments).join(' ');
          nativeLog(nativeMsg);
        }
    };
}

function uncapture() {
  console.log = originalConsole.log;
}
var oopsGlobal;
capture();

--after-user-code--

fun1();
fun2();
uncapture();
(function() { return logOutput || "console.log never called"; })();

--seed-contents--

// Declare the myGlobal variable below this line


function fun1() {
  // Assign 5 to oopsGlobal Here

}

// Only change code above this line

function fun2() {
  var output = "";
  if (typeof myGlobal != "undefined") {
    output += "myGlobal: " + myGlobal;
  }
  if (typeof oopsGlobal != "undefined") {
    output += " oopsGlobal: " + oopsGlobal;
  }
  console.log(output);
}

--solutions--

var myGlobal = 10;

function fun1() {
  oopsGlobal = 5;
}

function fun2() {
  var output = "";
  if(typeof myGlobal != "undefined") {
    output += "myGlobal: " + myGlobal;
  }
  if(typeof oopsGlobal != "undefined") {
    output += " oopsGlobal: " + oopsGlobal;
  }
  console.log(output);
}
