// IIFE
(function () {
  console.log('This will never run again');
  const isPrivate = 23;
})();

// console.log(isPrivate); // isPrivate is scoped to that function so this wont work

}
// console.log(isPrivate); // isPrivate is scoped to that block so this wont work
console.log(notPrivate); // var doesn't have scope so this will work
