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

No it is not "wrong"; it will get hoisted to the top of the nearest function definition, as per the ECMAScript specification.

Yes, your program "Sublimelinter" is incorrect to claim the variable is out of scope.
