I've been looking at several answers in the community section but I still don't understand why label is out of scope of the checkbox. Would someone maybe be able to map it out of why label is out of scope?

6,049 PointsI think I start to get it, but just to be sure: Basically, the function itself is in a way creating a variable, and the return statement works more or less as declaring it like 'const element = example' for others to see it?

Treehouse TeacherYou're on the right track! The element variable is defined earlier in a statement in the function body but the return statement gives other functions access to it

Treehouse TeacherHey Dinu Comendant previously the label was being stored in the
labelvariable, now it's being appended to the page without being stored in the variable as before. This leads Guil to return label so he has access to it.
