JavaScript global variable is shown as undefined in Google Chrome console

Question

I'm very much new to JavaScript. This question may be something very primitive. The posts that are suggested when I was typing this question didn't help me to resolve the issue.

I was following a tutorial and it uses Google Chrome console for exercises. It showed that the global and window objects tables could be printed on the console.

I tried and window was printed but not the global object. Why is this? Do I need to upgrade to a certain version of chrome/install other plugin to support global variables?

It says "Global is not defined"

Answer 1

I think I found the answer to the question.

The Chrome browser has to be in the "Incognito mode" to see the global object.

Answer 2

What do you mean by global variables? If you define a variable "var x = 0" Outside of any functions it's global and can be called anywhere.

Including in the console.

Answer 3

Have you perhaps run across a NodeJS tutorial where global is used to create a global variable outside of a module?

This is not valid in browser JavaScript, even though in NodeJS it is still JavaScript, the global stuff is a little different.
