Access overridden global variable inside a function

Question

I want to access global variable \'x\' when it is over-ridden by same named variable inside a function.

function outer() {
   var x = 10;
   function overRid         


        

Answer 1

You can use window.x to reference the globally scoped variable.

var x = 10;
function overRideX() {
  var x = "Updated";
  console.log(x);
  console.log(window.x);
};

overRideX();

This code logs "Updated" then 10.
