Local Variable Scope

[Craig Oliver]

From what I understand:
Local (method) variables can be declared anywhere in code of method.
They are then available for rest of method.

Question is:
If local variable is declared within try/catch exception block is scope of this variable only within try/catch block or entire method from then on?

[Vicken Karaoghlanian]

You can refer to (�14.4.2) for more information about the scope of local variables.

[Babar Qadri]

Only within try/catch block. And refer the link given by Vicken.
cheers.

The key word is block.

Variables declared within a block { ... } are only known within that block.
The individual try, catch, and finally blocks are examples of this.
