function test(){
    if(true){
        var a = 5;
    }
    alert(a);
}

test();

I keep getting 'out of scope' errors in my JS code when I check with JsLint which make no sense to me.So I quickly created an example. Is there something actually wrong with this code piece, as the variable is eventually hoisted to the top of the function anyways.
