Initialization a variable before declaration

hi everyone,

please help me to clear the following doubt.

1>what is the rule to use a variable(read or write) before declaration.

2> code snippet:
class MyClass{

static{
int x = 2 * var1; //line1
int y = 3 * MyClass.var1; //line2
}

static{
int var1 = 10;
}

In the above code line1 gives error but line2 runs successfully.I am not able to understand the behaviour. Please explain how this code is working.

How the compiler(or system) handles or process var1 in line2 which is running nicely without declaring var1 before using it at line2.

I hope i am very much clear what i am trying to ask....if not please reply back..
Thanks in advance

First, please read this. This explains why it is important to not crosspost, and to choose the correct forum.

This forum is for the discussion of Errata. In order to do that, we need to know which mock this question is from, and why do you think it is wrong. In any case, the other copy of this topic is probably in the correct forum, so I'm locking this one.
