# --description--
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is possible to have both <dfn>local</dfn> and <dfn>global</dfn> variables with the same name. When you do this, the `local` variable takes precedence over the `global` variable.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In this example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
var someVar = "Hat";
|
||
|
function myFun() {
|
||
|
var someVar = "Head";
|
||
|
return someVar;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The function `myFun` will return `"Head"` because the `local` version of the variable is present.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# --instructions--
|
||
|
|
||
|
Add a local variable to `myOutfit` function to override the value of `outerWear` with `"sweater"`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# --hints--
|
||
|
|
||
|
You should not change the value of the global `outerWear`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
assert(outerWear === 'T-Shirt');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
`myOutfit` should return `"sweater"`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
assert(myOutfit() === 'sweater');
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
You should not change the return statement.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```js
|
||
|
assert(/return outerWear/.test(code));
|
||
|
```
