Local variables
What if you declare a variable not only in the global scope but also locally in the block?
my $x = 1;
{
my $x = 42;
say $x;
}
say $x;
The program has two independent variables now. They share the name, but all references to $x
in the global scope are about the global variable, while the $x
inside the block is a local variable, different from the global $x
. The program prints two different values:
$ raku t.raku
42
