how to pass variables into jquery.getScript?

Question

I've been looking at the jquery website but I don't think I'm quite understanding this as I'm not seeing any console.logs

$(document).ready(function(){
    var a=[1,2,3];
    var b='foo';
    var c={'bar':'baz'};

    $.getScript('script.js',function(a,b,c){
        console.log('how can i see a='+a+', b='+b+' and c='+c+' inside here?');
        });
    });

this works here: jsfiddle.net/rYQkx without redifining variable as local — A. Wolff

The script is executed in the global context, so simply don't pass arguments (they're shadowing those defined by the script) :

$.getScript('script.js',function(){
    // use a, b and c here
    console.log(a);
});

nope I can't log anything that way ether. I do this console.log(a); and I see nothing.

@BenMuircroft because i guess your variables are not globals. See when variables are on same scope: jsfiddle.net/5FCej

@BenMuircroft Then just don't declare them as arguments to the callback (i.e. change function(a,b,c) to function()).
