Introduction

When we declare a variable in JavaScript; if its declared with the var keyword it will be a local variable and if we omit the var key work it will be implicitly declared as the global variable. Developers are always careful on creating global variables.

Problem Background

Solution

  1.  
  2. function funcationName() {
  3.      "use strict";
  4. };
