Hi Alex! I'm looking forward to our JavaScript session today. I've been reviewing the basics but still have questions about functions and scope.

10:15 AM

Hey Emma! No problem at all. We'll definitely cover functions and scope in detail. Do you have any specific examples you're struggling with?

Yes, I'm confused about the difference between var, let, and const. Also, I don't fully understand how closures work.

Those are great topics to cover! I'll prepare some examples to demonstrate the differences between var, let, and const. And closures are a bit tricky but super useful once you understand them.

I tried writing this function but it's not working as expected:

function counter() {
  var count = 0;
  return count++;
}

console.log(counter()); // Always returns 0
console.log(counter()); // Still returns 0
10:25 AM

Ah, I see the issue. Your function creates a new 'count' variable each time it's called. Here's how you can fix it with a closure:

function createCounter() {
  var count = 0;
  return function() {
    return count++;
  };
}

const counter = createCounter();
console.log(counter()); // Returns 0
console.log(counter()); // Returns 1

We'll go through this in detail during our session!

That makes so much more sense! I'm looking forward to our session at 3:00 PM. Thanks for the quick explanation!
