  • Q2. What is closure?
  • Ans. 

    Closure is a function that has access to its own scope, as well as the scope in which it was defined.

    • Closure allows a function to access variables from an outer function even after the outer function has finished executing.

    • It helps in maintaining state in asynchronous operations.

    • Example: function outerFunction() { let outerVar = 'I am outer'; return function innerFunction() { console.log(outerVar); }; }
