Perhaps this is an example from C++, but it illustrates my point. This may be a better example, if we are to step back a decade or two: int i; for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) { int i;

        for (i = 5; i < 10; i++);

} printf("%d", i);

I'll try to explain it in your own language. no declarations inside for() in C ===> your example ===> *crap* loose typing ===> no declarations ===> 'masking out' _IMPOSSIBLE_

How germane of you to adopt my own language, but as flattering as that is, I must say that your grammar is off a we bit. I would have chosen: no declarations inside for() in C =>i your example =========> *crap* loose typing =>i no declarations =========> 'masking out' _IMPOSSIBLE_
