Working on JS - Hoisting module

Here are the instructions --> Alter the 'elevatorCloseButton' function to follow the best practices in declaring variables within the scope of the function.

Here's the code I wrote --> http://collabedit.com/46ca4

Here's what it's telling me ---> You should assign the 'status' in the if statement.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Try just initiating the variable, but not assigning it a value. I've edited your example http://collabedit.com/46ca4
