How does the revealing module pattern differ from a basic module pattern?

Short interview answer

It defines all functions and variables privately first, then returns an object literal that simply maps public names to the already-defined private references, making it clearer at a glance which internal pieces are exposed publicly.

Key takeaway

Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
