Closures
In JavaScript

Closures are a fundamental concept in


JavaScript and play a significant role in how
the language handles functions and scope. A
closure is formed when a function is defined
within another function and has access to the
outer (enclosing) function's variables and
parameters, even after the outer function has
finished executing. This behavior allows for
maintaining private data, creating factory
functions, and implementing various design
patterns.

Nested Function

A closure is created when an inner function is


defined within an outer function.

Private Data

Closures can be used to encapsulate and


maintain private data. Variables within the outer
function are not accessible from outside the
closure, providing a form of data hiding.

Factory Functions

Closures are commonly used in factory functions


to create objects with shared behavior but
unique internal states.

Summary

Understanding closures is crucial for effective


JavaScript programming, especially when dealing
with asynchronous operations, event handling,
and maintaining state in functional programming
paradigms. Closures enable you to create
modular and encapsulated code while controlling
access to data and functions.
