Underscore.js is a library in javascript that makes operations on arrays, string, objects much easier and handy. 
The _.noConflict() function is used to create a reference of the global underscore object “_” to another variable.

Note: It is very necessary to link the underscore CDN before going and using underscore functions in the browser. When linking the underscore.js CDN The “_” is attached to the browser as a global variable.

Syntax:

_.noConflict()

Parameters: This function does not accept any parameter.

Return Value: It returns the reference to the global underscore variable.

Example 1: When noConflict() function is not used and using “underscore” variable.

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 
<head>
    <script src=
    </script>
</head>
 
<body>
 
     
<p>Click the given below button</p>
 
 
    <button>
        button
    </button>
 
    <script>
        let btn = document.querySelector("button");
        let p = document.querySelector("p")
 
        // Creating a array
        let arr = [2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 1];
 
        // Declaring underscore variable
        let underscore;
 
        // Creating a function
        let func = () => {
 
            // Changing text of paragraph
            // on button click
            p.innerText = "button is clicked";
 
            // Sorting the array
            arr = underscore.sortBy(arr,
                (e) => { return Math.round(e) })
            console.log(arr)
        }
        btn.addEventListener("click", func);
    </script>
