#header SCOPE

Scope refers to where you are able to access a variable. Basically variables cannot be accessed from outside the scope they are created in. Look at the following:
|
||||
#code
|
||||
A = 5
|
||||
|
||||
While A < 10
|
||||
B = 1 '----- B is created inside this loop and cannot be accessed outside of this loop
|
||||
A = A + 1 '----- A was created before this loop started so it will be able to be used after this loop ends
|
||||
Wend
|
||||
|
||||
Print B
|
||||
#/code
|
||||
|
||||
The above program WILL NOT COMPILE. That is because the variable B was created inside the scope of the WHILE loop and nothing outside the WHILE loop will be able to access it. The variable A was created outside the WHILE loop so the variable A could be used anywhere in this example. So a variable can go into a deeper scope than where it was created but it cannot go to a lesser scope than where it was created. A scope deepens every time a new block is started. Blocks refer to the code within a loop, within a Function, or within a Sub Routine.
