⚠️ A Common JavaScript Hoisting Myth Many developers say: “JavaScript moves variable and function declarations to the top of the code.” But that’s not actually true. Nothing is physically moved. What really happens is that before the code starts executing, the JavaScript engine runs a memory creation phase where it scans the code and allocates memory for variables and functions. • "var" - initialized with "undefined" • "let" and "const" - created but stay in the Temporal Dead Zone (TDZ) • Functions - their full definition is stored in memory So hoisting is not about moving code, it’s about how the JavaScript engine prepares memory before execution begins. The deeper I go into JavaScript internals, the more interesting it gets.🤓 #JavaScript #BackendDevelopment #NodeJS #SoftwareEngineering #SystemDesign #Programming #LearningInPublic
