# An overview of the spread operator
Spread operator (or spread syntax) is a powerful feature in Javascript which allows you to do such things as merging or copying objects, expanding an array into function arguments and a lot more. In this post, we are going to cover most of its use-cases.

## Variables
A `variable` in Javascript is a "named container" that can hold data. Variables are declared by giving them a name and a value - the `name` allows you to reference the variable throughout your program, and the `value` is the current value the variable represents.
Variables can be defined in the following ways:

This is fixed using `let`

However, if the above code was in a function, this would not be the case. In the case of a function, the variable will be scoped to the given function, and not accessible outside it. Eg:
