A limitation with the factory parameter is that, since calls to `jest.mock()` are hoisted to the top of the file, it's not possible to first define a variable and then use it in the factory. An exception is made for variables that start with the word 'mock'. It's up to you to guarantee that they will be initialized on time! For example, the following will throw an out-of-scope error due to the use of 'fake' instead of 'mock' in the variable declaration:
:::caution
Since calls to `jest.mock()` are hoisted to the top of the file, Jest prevents access to out-of-scope variables. By default, you cannot first define a variable and then use it in the factory. Jest will disable this check for variables that start with the word 'mock'. However, it is still up to you to guarantee that they will be initialized on time.

The following will throw a ReferenceError despite using 'mock' in the variable declaration, as the mockSoundPlayer is not wrapped in an arrow function and thus accessed before initialization after hoisting.

### Replacing the mock using [`mockImplementation()`](MockFunctionAPI.md#mockfnmockimplementationfn) or [`mockImplementationOnce()`](MockFunctionAPI.md#mockfnmockimplementationoncefn)

You can replace all of the above mocks in order to change the implementation, for a single test or all tests, by calling `mockImplementation()` on the existing mock.
