As expected I got an error with this:
'use strict';
userName = 'Max';
console.log(userName);
but not with this:
'use strict';
name= 'Max';
console.log(name);
As I am using strict mode. I expected to get an error with both code snippets, but turns out that i didn’t with the later. So, I am thinking maybe name is a reserved keyword of JavaScript; however, I didn’t find it listed among other.
Can someone explain why I didn’t get an error, please?
do you maybe have a name variable defined somewhere in the code before that snippet? I get the ReferenceError: name is not defined
and when you run the code what do you see?
I saw this error stemming from line 3:
Uncaught ReferenceError: UserName is not defined
at app.js:3
This was expected, but for the name variable i got the value, Max in the console.
ok, I was using nodejs, instead in a web page I see the same behaviour
it seems that in node there is not an already used name
in a webpage, name has a default value of empty string
Thanks to both of you @ILM @thetradecoder
I didn’t know this before… many people use name as variable name… Thanks for clearing me
