replit：private property by closure (2)

// Counter
function Counter() {
    
    // ⭐️ private property in closure
    let count = 0;

    // ⭐️ (method) function closes over `count`
    this.up = function() {
        return ++count;
    };
    
    this.down = function() {
        return --count;
    };
}

// an instance of Counter
let counter = new Counter();

counter.up(),    // 1
counter.up(),    // 2
counter.down(),  // 1
