The scope of a name is the set of places in which it can be referenced.

A variable can be declared only once within a method. Such a variable is sometimes called a local variable (of the method)

The scope of a local variable of a method is the sequence of statements following it.

Example:

// ...

public test(int p)

{y= p;

int x;

x= p;

if (p > -p)

x= -p;

y= p;

}
