function test(a) { // var a; // hoisted, but parameter already defines `a` console.log(a); // prints the parameter value → 5 a = 10; // assignment happens after the log }

When test(5) is called, the value 5 is passed to the parameter a, so a initially becomes 5. Inside the function, the var a declaration is hoisted to the top, but since a already exists as a function parameter, this hoisted declaration does not change its value. Then console.log(a) runs and prints the current value of a, which is 5.
