is there anyway access 'privatefunction'????

any tips , tricks? highly appreciate if can shed light on this. in advance.

you create object of myrevealingmodule, contains setname, greeting, , getname. these, setname references publicsetname , getname references publicgetname. on turn, publicgetname need: calls privatefunction.

so, answer question:

myrevealingmodule.publicgetname(); 

is how access privatefunction. can change value of privatevar way:

myrevealingmodule.publicsetname("foobar"); myrevealingmodule.publicgetname();
