// Closures
// In JavaScript, closure is one of the widely discussed and important concepts.
// A closure is a function that has access to the variable from another function’s scope which is accomplished by creating a function inside a function. As defined on MDN:
// “Closures are functions that refer to independent (free) variables. In other words, the function defined in the closure ‘remembers’ the environment in which it was created.”
// In JavaScript, closures are created every time a function is created, at function creation time. Most JavaScript developers use closure consciously or unconsciously — but knowing closure provides better control over the code when using them.
// Example:
function Spellname(name) {
var greet = "Hi, " + name + "!";
var sName = function() {
var welc = greet + " Good Morning!";
console.log(greet);
};
return sName;
}
var Myname = SpellName("Nishi");
Myname(); // Hi, Nishi. Good Morning!
// In the above example, the function sName() is closure; it has its own local scope (with variable welc) and also has access to the outer function’s scope. After the execution of Spellname(), the scope will not be destroyed and the function sName() will still have access to it.
