Are Properties similar to Javascript Variables?

Hi Rushan,

Properties are similar but in a set context they aren't, variables by default are defined in the global scope of the page which is always window, setting a variable here allows us to access it's value from anywhere within our code without any need to pass it from function-to-function for example.

However a variable can also be scoped therefore you can't always trust that it exists everywhere in your code which is how properties work, a property is a name-spaced value that requires you to define the scope before it can be accessed and used. Properties are unique in that way.

All-in-all they both do the same thing, the way they work makes them different.
