Tell us what’s happening:

Your code so far

function myLocalScope() {
  
  var myVar = "Lawrence";
  
  
  console.log(myVar);
}
myLocalScope();


// Run and check the console
// myVar is not defined outside of myLocalScope
console.log(myVar);

// Now remove the console log line to pass the test

@nyannue,
read the instructions carefully. It says to follow the comments inside the exercise.

// Now remove the console log line to pass the test

You should remove:

console.log(myVar);

and you shall pass the test

Thank you, I am really finding it difficult with this course because I am a beginner in programming.

This piece seems to be touching on the topic of Scope (more info).

Scope comes in many flavors. To define your scope you could ask, what can your code access? What variables can it reach and use?

Everything your code can touch, is yourscope. It can be a confusing topic at first. Also , note that detailed and focused questions are a good way for allowing others to best address the parts you are having trouble with.

A Google search for JavaScript Scope would give a lot of examples and reads. I’ll list a few I like at the bottom.

Wikipedia - JavaScript Scope

MDN - Function Scope

W3Schools - JavaScript Scope
