1. Nested Function Scope
In JavaScript, functions can be nested within other functions, creating a hierarchy of scopes. Each function has its local scope, and nested functions have access to variables declared in their scope and the scopes of their outer functions. This concept is known as “nested function scope.”
Example:
function outerFunction() {
var outerVariable = "I am from the outer function";
function innerFunction() {
var innerVariable = "I am from the inner function";
console.log("Inside innerFunction:", outerVariable); // Accesses outerVariable
outerVariable = "Modified in innerFunction"; // Modifies outerVariable
console.log("Inside innerFunction:", innerVariable); // Accesses innerVariable
}
innerFunction(); // Calls innerFunction
console.log("After calling innerFunction:", outerVariable); // Shows modified outerVariable
