Question 8

Is it legal to define local variables with the same identifier in nested blocks?

Answer

No, it is illegal to define local variables with the same identifier in nested blocks

The local variable declaration space of a block includes any nested blocks. Thus, within a nested block it is not possible to declare a local variable with the same name as a local variable in an enclosing block.
