Why are we able to create a variable and an object key with the same name?

Question

JavaScript

After all, an object does not create its own scope. Why then is this possible?

Answer 1

let x = 1;

const y = {
  x: 2
}

In this case, the name of the first variable will be x, and to get the field xfrom the object y, you need to refer to y.x, which will, in fact, be the full name of the field, and it is different from x.
