Designed for learners ranging from beginner to advanced, this module takes students on an in-depth exploration of JavaScript scope — a foundational but often misunderstood aspect of coding. Students start with the basics of the scope chain, understanding how variables and functions interact in different layers of a program and advance to more nuanced topics like the var keyword and global scope.
