const controlVal = input / 2 + 3;
const multiplier = (number, phase) => {
  const val = number * controlVal + phase;
  console.log(val);
};
Which variables possess block scope?

number, phase, val

input, controlVal, multiplier

Question 9

What is preferable: defining variables in the global scope or defining variables in the block scope?

What is preferable: defining variables in the global scope or defining variables in the block scope?

Defining variables in the global scope. Variables defined in the block scope are restrictive and often conflict with variables defined in the global scope.

Defining variables in the block scope. Variables defined at the block level can still be used at the global level.

Defining variables in the block scope. Variables defined in the global scope can cause unexpected behavior in our code.

Defining variables in the global scope and the block scope are equally preferable.

Answer 9

Defining variables in the block scope. Variables defined in the global scope can cause unexpected behavior in our code.

Question 10

How many global variables are there in the following block of code?

const controlVal = input / 2 + 3;
const multiplier = (number, phase) => {
  const val = number * controlVal + phase;
  console.log(val);
};
How many global variables are there in the following block of code?

There are four: input, controlVal, val, and multiplier.

There are three: input, controlVal, and multiplier.

There are two: input and `controlVal.

There are three: input, controlVal, and val.

Answer 10

There are three: input, controlVal, and multiplier.
