Describe Closure concept in JavaScript as best as you could code example
Example 1: closure in js
A closure gives you access to an outer function’s scope from an inner function
//example
function init() {
var name = 'Mozilla'; // name is a local variable created by init
function displayName() { // displayName() is the inner function, a closure
alert(name); // use variable declared in the parent function
}
displayName();
}
init();
Example 2: closures in javascript
function OuterFunction() {
var outerVariable = 100;
function InnerFunction() {
alert(outerVariable);
}
return InnerFunction;
}
var innerFunc = OuterFunction();
innerFunc(); // 100
