The Basics Of JavaScript Variable Definitions & Hoisting
I wrote this tutorial as an introduction to an often overlooked subject. I can’t blame you, JavaScript is an accessible language just pop open your text editor and you’re ready to start coding.

There are 3 main types of scopes that provide distinct behavior: global scope, block scope and function scope. Each scope expects different things and has unique rules when it comes to variable definitions.
What is the meaning of Prose?
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Quaerat, odio laborum, fuga, accusamus ullam perspiciatis ex facilis maiores explicabo possimus vitae! Corrupti doloribus possimus sed rerum vero fuga est similique.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Suscipit error facilis placeat cumque, accusantium hic, sint, magnam maiores unde eveniet tempore totam consequuntur asperiores. Minima laborum sint natus cum tempore! Lorem ipsum dolor, sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Ex, repellendus expedita quis hic optio ad quidem praesentium totam labore necessitatibus repudiandae, sapiente, consequatur rem fugiat quibusdam asperiores consequuntur veritatis aperiam.

Except that the value of the hoisted variable is now undefined — it did not retain its original value. Only its definition was hoisted.
- Only its definition was hoisted. In other words, only its name.
- But try not to rely on it when writing code.
- It just prevents reference error bugs.

At this point you might want to know that variables defined inside a function will be limited only to the scope of that function. Trying to access them outside of the function will result in a reference error. You may not retain the value of a hoisted variable in global scope, but you will still save your program from generating an error and halting execution flow.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.
Ambitioni dedisse scripsisse iudicaretur. Cras mattis iudicium purus sit amet fermentum. Donec sed odio operae, eu vulputate felis rhoncus. Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi. At nos hinc posthac, sitientis piros Afros. Petierunt uti sibi concilium totius Galliae in diem certam indicere. Cras mattis iudicium purus sit amet fermentum.

Thankfully, hoisting in JavaScript is automatic. When writing your program more than half of the time, you won’t even need to think about it. Ambitioni dedisse scripsisse iudicaretur. Cras mattis iudicium purus sit amet fermentum. Donec sed odio operae, eu vulputate felis rhoncus.
