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

Declare your var pointer once with-in the function you have your if statement at. Like ninjagecko mentioned all vars get sent to the top of their containing functions.

However; do be careful because if you declare the same var twice like you have it , it will reset the var.
