Question

Given:

function foo(){   var bar = 'quux';   console.log(/*mystery code here*/); } 

I’m looking for code that when inserted into the comment would yield the value of bar. By way of illustration, something like this works in a global scope:

var foo = 'bar'; var bar = 'quux'; console.log(window[foo]); 

But, of course, variables defined globally are appended to the window object. Variables local to a function are not. Is there some similar way to programmatically get to local function variables?

Nope, afraid not.

See: javascript locals()?
