Block scope
Imagine you have a big toy box with different sections inside. Each section is like a block scope. When you play with a toy in one section, you can only see and interact with the toys inside that section. You can't reach or play with the toys in the other sections.
In programming, block scope is like those sections in the toy box. It helps keep things organized and separate. It's like having different spaces where you can use different variables and functions without affecting the ones outside.
Let's say you have a box full of different toys. Each toy represents a variable or function in programming. When you're playing with a toy inside a block scope, you can only access and use the toys (variables/functions) that are inside that block scope.
Now, let's imagine you have a big room with different sections separated by walls. Each section is like a block scope. When you enter a section, you can see and use the things (variables/functions) inside it, but you can't see and use the things from the other sections.
In programming, this means that when you define a variable or function inside a block scope (like a room section), it can only be accessed and used inside that block scope. It's like having different rooms where you can use different variables and functions without affecting the ones outside.
For example, let's say you have a program where you're playing with blocks. In the main room, you have a block named "x" that represents a certain number. Now, you go to a smaller room (a block scope) inside the main room. Inside this smaller room, you have another block named "x" that represents a different number.
If you try to access the value of "x" from the main room, you'll get the original number. But if you try to access the value of "x" from the smaller room (the block scope), you'll get the new number.
Block scope helps keep things organized and prevents conflicts between variables and functions. It allows you to have different spaces where you can use different variables and functions without affecting the ones outside of that space. Just like having different sections in a toy box or rooms separated by walls.
