Basic Js question

Hello guys, I have a Js question that seems to be basic but I cannot figure it out, please help me. function print(f) { let first = 'Mary'; console.log(f)} When I executed it with a variable declared in the function scope as argument, I got an error. print(first); //--> first is not defined Why is this happening? I thought I should be able to access the print scope since I am executing the print function.

I understand it, just being curious about why can the variable inside the function not be accessed.

No, because you have no variable named "first" outside the function, You have to place the "first" outside the function

hold on.. you did not call the function first. second you passing f but where is f in your function. when you pass argument you don't have to declare it again because it ia already declared. https://code.sololearn.com/WsBfDZ4ZT8t7/?ref=app
