Global Scope and Functions so so very lost

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

it says “oopsGlobal is not defined” did i not define it?? i said it was 5, i’m so lost. javaScript makes me feel like i’m blind and i am trying to learn how to drive. like i know what it does technically… i think. but how does any of the stuff covered so far in these lessons actually work on a web site i have no freakin clue and i think knowing that would make this so much easier.

Your code so far


// Declare your variable here
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);
}

not only do you probably need to declare it outside along with myGlobal, but also you have a typo: oppsGlobal should be oopsGlobal
