ReferenceError: variable is not defined
Error message
ReferenceError: variable is not defined
What broke
The code attempted to access a variable that has not been defined in the current scope. This can happen if the variable was never declared or if there is a typo in the variable name.
Why it broke
It broke because JavaScript requires all variables to be declared before they can be used. If a variable is referenced without declaration, it results in a ReferenceError.
How to fix
To fix this error, ensure that the variable is declared before it is used. Check for any typos in the variable name and make sure it is defined in the correct scope.
