IT. Expert System.

Local variables scope is confined within the block or function where it is defined. Local variables must always be defined at the top of a block. When a local variable is defined - it is not initalised by the system, you must initalise it yourself. When execution of the block starts the variable is available, and when the block ends the variable 'dies'.

Syntax:

return_type function_name(){

int a; //local variable

return value
}

Example:

main()
   {
      int i=4;
      int j=10;
   
      i++;
   
      if (j > 0)
      { 
         /* i defined in 'main' can be seen */
         printf("i is %d\n",i); 
      }
   
      if (j > 0)
      {
         /* 'i' is defined and so local to this block */
         int i=100; 
         printf("i is %d\n",i);      
      }/* 'i' (value 100) dies here */
   
      printf("i is %d\n",i); /* 'i' (value 5) is now visable.*/
   }
   
   This will generate following output
   i is 5
   i is 100
   i is 5
