In computer science, a local variable is a variable that is given local scope. A local variable reference in the function or block in which it is declared...

In the interpretation of quantum mechanics, a local hidden-variable theory is a hidden-variable theory that satisfies the principle of locality. These...

free variable refers to variables used in a function that are neither local variables nor parameters of that function. The term non-local variable is often...

scope of a name binding (an association of a name to an entity, such as a variable) is the part of a program where the name binding is valid; that is, where...

and a static local variable, which has local scope. A static local variable is different from a local variable as a static local variable is initialized...

language theory, a non-local variable is a variable that is not defined in the local scope. While the term can refer to global variables, it is primarily used...

where all variables are local with no shared memory (and therefore all interactions can be reconducted to message passing). Global variables are used extensively...

automatic variable is a local variable which is allocated and deallocated automatically when program flow enters and leaves the variable's scope. The...

In computer programming, a variable is an abstract storage location paired with an associated symbolic name, which contains some known or unknown quantity...

environment variable is a user-definable value that can affect the way running processes will behave on a computer. Environment variables are part of...

{ Foo rect; // Local variable return 0; } public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { // This is a local variable. Its lifespan //...

example, in the program below, functions with a free variable x (bound to the non-local variable x with global scope) are executed in the same environment...

identical for identical arguments (no variation with local static variables, non-local variables, mutable reference arguments or input streams, i.e.,...

2-byte offset. variable name: The string name of a local variable. Compiled to a 1-byte value, indicating an offset into the local variable frame. method...

variable shadowing occurs when a variable declared within a certain scope (decision block, method, or inner class) has the same name as a variable declared...

thread-local memory block, in fact often rather tight limits. On the other hand, if a system can provide at least a memory address (pointer) sized variable thread-local...

operation. Example side effects include modifying a non-local variable, a static local variable or a mutable argument passed by reference; raising errors...

specifies the index in the local variable array to load from or store to. The aload_0 instruction pushes the object in local variable 0 onto the stack (this...

expanding file paths (with wildcards and brace expansion), environment variables, and command-specific completions. Command-specific completions, including...

usually declared as a local variable, i.e., a variable with local scope. There is no formal definition of what makes a variable temporary, but it is an...

new copy of local variables on each call. If the programmer desires the recursive callable to use the same variables instead of using locals, they typically...

and thus non-local variables (e.g. C). The early functional language Lisp took the approach of dynamic scoping, where non-local variables refer to the...

%Variable) Created using the var command. var is merely an internal alias for set -l but var poses the means to declare multiple local variables on...

B, an external variable is a variable defined outside any function block. On the other hand, a local (automatic) variable is a variable defined inside...

convenient syntactic sugar for shorter local variable declarations, but it is also required for the declaration of variables of anonymous types. The contextual...

a program that contains initialized static variables, that is, global variables and static local variables. The size of this segment is determined by...

other hand, variable declarations inside of main(), other functions, or within { } block delimiters are local variables. Local variables also include...

in the smallest enclosing scope, so that for example local variables supersede global variables; this is called shadowing. visibility rules, which determine...
