Learn E36: Compare Scopes of the var and let Keywords

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
I originally attempted the problem on my own. However, I kept on running into the same issue. The code is continually failing the last check. "checkScope() should return the string function scope". I thought it was maybe something I did, so I used the hint and copied/paste their code. The same problem is happening. Is this a bug?

  **Your code so far**


/*
function checkScope() {
"use strict";
let i = 'function scope';
if (true) {
  let i = 'block scope';
  console.log('Block scope i is: ', i);
}
console.log('Function scope i is: ', i);
return i;
}
*/
function checkScope() {
"use strict";
let i = "function scope";
if (true) {
  let i = "block scope";
  console.log("Block scope i is: ", i);
}
console.log("Function scope i is: ", i);
return i;
}
checkScope()
console.log(i)

Challenge: Compare Scopes of the var and let Keywords

Link to the challenge:

console.log(i) ///this is causing the test to fail

i does not exist outside the function so a reference error is being thrown when you try to log it, and this error is preventing the test from passing.
