If you want to store your data in a web browser, you can use local storage. This storage helps you store information. You can store up to 5 MB of data. Season storage is slightly different from it. You can store temporary data using the session storage.

6. What are Closures?

Closure is an important topic in JavaScript. You can access variables from other functions using closures.
