What are some examples of scope in Java?

In Java, scope refers to the visibility of variables. For example, a variable declared inside a method is local to that method.

Can you give me an example of a local variable?

Sure! Here's an example:

public void myMethod() {
    int localVar = 5; // This variable is local to myMethod
    System.out.println(localVar);
}

What about instance variables?

Instance variables are declared in a class but outside any method. They are accessible to all methods in the class. For example:

public class MyClass {
    int instanceVar; // This is an instance variable
    public void display() {
        System.out.println(instanceVar);
    }
}

And what is the scope of a static variable?

Static variables belong to the class rather than any instance. They can be accessed using the class name. For example:

public class MyClass {
    static int staticVar = 10; // This is a static variable
}
