Scope of variable declared inside a for loop

Question

for(int i=0; i<10;i++){
 int j=0;
}

Is j a block variable or a local variable? I see that j's scope is only till the for loop ends

Answer 1

Local variables are declared in methods, constructors, or blocks.

From that it's clear that, All block variables are local variable's.

As per definition of Block

A block is a group of zero or more statements between balanced braces and can be used anywhere a single statement is allowed.

So

{   //block started

}    //block ended

What ever the variables declared inside the block ,the scope restricted to that block.

for(int i=0; i<10;i++){
 int j=0;
}

So J scope is restricted to inside that block. That is for loop.

for(int i=0; i<10;i++){
 int j=0;
 //do some thing with j ---> compiler says "yes boss"
}
//do some thing with j ---> compiler says "Sorry boss, what is j ??"

Answer 2

It is a local variable to that for block. Outside of that for loop, j will cease to exist.
