Alter the 'elevatorCloseButton' function to follow the best practices in declaring variables within the scope of the fun

In JavaScript, variable declarations get hoisted to the top of the scope they were declared in. This may sound complicated, but here's what happens.

You declare a variable and assign value to it like this:

var myVariable = "Some text";

Even though you think of this as a single statement, the JavaScript engine won't see it that way. It actually sees two statements here. The first one is the variable declaration: var myVariable;. The second one is the value assignment: myVariable = "Some text";.

When your code is being run on a webpage, several things happen. The code gets parsed, compiled and optimized before the browser runs it. Different parts do different things. In this case, the compiler takes care of the variable declaration (the first part) during compilation. And the engine handles the assignment (the second part) during the execution.

Because of this, the compiler hoists the variable declaration to the top of the scope. This basically means that it moves the declaration to the top of the function in this case.

So if you have something like this:

function () {
   // some code
   var myVar = "Something";
   // some other code
}

it will get converted into this:

function () {
   var myVar;
   // some code
   myVar = "Something";
   // some other code
}

This is why it's recommended to do this manually while writing a program to avoid confusion.

Your job is to break down the status variable declaration and assignment into two pieces. Leave the assignment where it is, inside the if statement, and move the declaration to the top of the function.
