Javascript Closures Tutorial - What makes Javascript Weird...and Awesome Pt 3

What is a closure? In this JavaScript tutorial, we’ll learn about closures, one of the most misunderstood concepts in JavaScript.

In other words, JavaScript remembers those variables, and that remembering is what we call a closure.
