What is variable shadowing in programming?

MagicBuddy

Variable shadowing occurs when a variable in a certain scope has the same name as a variable in an outer scope, effectively 'hiding' the outer variable.

Can you give me examples of variable shadowing in different programming languages?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! In Java, if you have a method parameter with the same name as a class field, the parameter shadows the field. In Python, a similar situation occurs with nested functions.
