  Understanding JavaScript closure and where it can be used

Closure The official definition of closure is: an expression (usually a function) that has many variables and is bound to an environment that includes those variables. In JavaScript, closure refers to the ability of a function to access the lexical scope in which it was defined, even after the function has been executed and left that scope.
