     ```javascript
     // const and let only exist in the blocks they are defined in.
     {
       let a = 1;
       const b = 1;
+      var c = 1;
     }
     console.log(a); // ReferenceError
     console.log(b); // ReferenceError
+    console.log(c); // Prints 1
     ```
 
+    In the above code, you can see that referencing `a` and `b` will produce a ReferenceError, while `c` contains the number. This is because `a` and `b` are block scoped, while `c` is scoped to the containing function.
