Scope

[MayaGans]

Is a scope figure of interest? I tried to stay on brand but I'm not sure what font you've been using. In this PR I:

• created basics-scope.svg
• created basics-scope.pdf
• followed the format of other figures in my attempt to add it to basics.tex

Maybe I should add some arrows to show the inside variables can access the global but not the other way around?

I think the scope diagram will work better if it shows some actual JavaScript with actual variables with the same and different names, and arrows pointing from uses to definitions.

Commented in GitHub: I think we need to show two variables with the same name to show what overrides what - arrows pointing from names to definitions, etc.

Figured this may need some input before I add to the PR - let me know what you think of this screen shot (using the function in basics.tex

I'm liking this, but both high and low point at function-scoped variables - I think we need something pointing at a variable outside the function to make it clear how scope works. In this particular example, though, there aren't any global variables to point at :-/

Hi @MayaGans I use this as a memory map while working with Javascript. Heavily inspired by Will Sentance
