Demystifying JavaScript Closures, Callbacks and IIFEs

[Jeff_Mott]

@felgall

since none of your supposed closure examples actually use a closure.

@felgall

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Closures where tyour examples match the first example that illustrates lexical scope (not closures) The next example on that page illustrates the creation of a closure by returning the function from the inn er scope without executing it and then executing it later after the scope it was created in has closed. There are further example further down that page.

Felgall, the MDN example you’re referencing is virtually identical to the article’s “Point 2” example.
