#Scope_Hoisting_in_JavaScript πŸš€

Understanding Scope and Hoisting is crucial for writing clean and bug-free JavaScript code!
πŸ”Ή Scope defines where variables can be accessed:
βœ… Global Scope – Accessible everywhere
βœ… Function Scope – Exists within a function
βœ… Block Scope – Limited to {} when using let or const
πŸ”Ή Hoisting moves variable and function declarations to the top before execution:
βœ… Function declarations are fully hoisted
⚠️ var variables are hoisted but initialized as undefined
🚫 let & const are hoisted but not accessible before declaration (Temporal Dead Zone)
πŸ’‘ Best Practices:
βœ”οΈ Use let & const instead of var
βœ”οΈ Always declare variables at the beginning of their scope
βœ”οΈ Understand hoisting to avoid unexpected errors
