+# Are counters independent?
+
+Here we make two counters: `counter` and `counter2` using the same `makeCounter` function.
+
+Are they independent? What is the second counter going to show? `0,1` or `2,3` or something else?
+
+```js
+function makeCounter() {
+  let count = 0;
+
+  return function() {
+    return count++;
+  };
+}
+
+let counter = makeCounter();
+let counter2 = makeCounter();
+
+alert( counter() ); // 0
+alert( counter() ); // 1
+
+*!*
+alert( counter2() ); // ?
+alert( counter2() ); // ?
+*/!*
+```
