Basic JavaScript: Global Scope and Functions Troubles on Assignment

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi,
Can someone please tell me what I did wrong…?
I checked the video, the hint, and even the solution…
And I believe I have the same answer as the solution also, but
it just won’t let me pass…
When I run the test, it keeps returning
"
// running tests
myGlobal should be defined

myGlobal should have a value of 10

oopsGlobal should be a global variable and have a value of 5

// tests completed
// console output
ReferenceError: oppsGlobal is not defined"

Your code so far


// Declare the myGlobal variable below this line
var myGlobal = 10;


function fun1() {
// Assign 5 to oopsGlobal Here
oppsGlobal = 5;
}

// Only change code above this line

function fun2() {
var output = "";
if (typeof myGlobal != "undefined") {
  output += "myGlobal: " + myGlobal;
}
if (typeof oopsGlobal != "undefined") {
  output += " oopsGlobal: " + oopsGlobal;
}
console.log(output);
}

Check the spelling of your variable names again. It has to be exactly the same as in the instructions (myGlobal and oopsGlobal).

Hi!
Thank you so much.

and its now good ><!
Thank you

omg this is so weird!

I was having the same problem and I retyped it three times. Still, it won’t let me pass.
And when I was looking at your code too, I couldn’t see any typing error!

So glad copy-n-paste worked and fixed everything
