I was referring to his first example which prints 123 That's more complicated to achieve in Python IMHO. Edit I think JS had a similar effect with `var` , that's why `let` was introduced Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I didn't translate the first snippet. The question is about the second snippet. The OP asked if its behaviour is a quirk. I showed that it's not by showing that the behaviour is consistent across many languages.	[reply]

And I added that the consistency isn't 1to1 Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) see Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Yes, JS's `var` is function-scoped at the narrowest. It's even retroactive such that `foo = 1; var foo;` [download] is equivalent to `var foo; foo = 1;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
