TIL: Creating Globals

#programming #javascript

~ views | ~ words

Today I learned you can create globals by passing unnecessary arguments to a function in javascript.

For example:

function myFunc(a) {
  console.log(a);
}

myFunc(123, (i = 100));

console.log(i);

Calling this function with that second argument expression will assign a global i to the value 100.
