Variable Scoping

Currently the language provides scoping on the global and the local level, meaning there are two type of scoped varibles:

  • Global
  • Local

In the local scope there are two types of variables which can be used

  • Function Local Variables
  • Function Argument Variables

Global Variables​

int i = 100;
double j = 10.99999;
bool b = true;

fn start() void {
    return; 
}

Local Variables​

fn start() void {
    int i = 100;
    double j = 10.99999;
    bool b = true;
    return; 
}

Function Arguments​

fn examplefunc(int a,double b,bool c) void {
    return;
}
note

Refer to Functions section of the Language Reference to know more about functions

Variable Overshdowing​

As per scoping, j will be equal to 100 

int i = 10;

fn start() void {
    int i = 100;
    int j = i;
    return; 
}
