**Tell us what’s happening:**

**Your code so far**

```auto
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.

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

```

You should remove:

```auto
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](http://clubajax.org/javascript-scope-and-context-not-the-same-thing/))**.

_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 your_scope_. 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_(computer_science)#JavaScript)

[MDN - Function Scope](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Functions#Function_scope)

[W3Schools - JavaScript Scope](https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_scope.asp)

🙂 ~Happy Hacking~
