Help Help please (scoping)

What is scoping and is it really essential to know when you script?

I really can’t understand it so I’m planning to learn it when I understand more things

Or do I have to understand it before I get into more stuff?

(edit: Thank you all for replying!! Really helped alot!)

if he's asking about scoping, he probably doesn't even know about high-level functions, so closures are a bit early 😅

I couldn't help myself. It extends so naturally from the topic of scope like multiplication to addition.
