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.
