What is the scope of a variable declared inside an if block in C++?

Options

B. Only within that block

Answer: (B) Only within that block

Variables declared inside a block such as an if statement have block scope.

For example:

if (x > 0) { int y = 10; }

The variable y exists within that block and cannot be directly used after the closing }.

This rule also applies to variables declared inside other blocks such as loops and nested blocks.
