Is it wrong to declare a variable inside an if statement in Javascript?

Question

I have a Sublimelinter installed in Sublime Text 2 and it\'s great. However it doesn\'t like the following code:

if(condition){
    var result = 1;
}else{
           


        

Answer 1

It is not wrong. If you get that error, you defined result earlier in your code.

You can also simplify your condition to this so you don't have to use result:

process( condition ? 1 : 2 );
