What are global variables in JavaScript?
JavaScript Global Variables can be accessed outside any function or block. JavaScript global variables are declared within the window object or outside any block or scope.
A variable declared without a keyword is also considered global even though it is declared in the function.
Below are some examples to see the declaration and use of JavaScript global variables.
Example 1: In this example, we will see the declaration of global variables and accessing them.
Javascript
let courseName = 'GeeksforGeeks' ;
function myFunction() {
console.log(courseName);
}
myFunction()
|
Example 2: In this example, we will declare a global variable inside a function and access it outside that function.
Javascript
function myFunction() {
courseName = 'GeeksforGeeks' ;
console.log( courseName );
}
myFunction();
console.log( courseName );
|
Output
GeeksforGeeks
GeeksforGeeks
