variables in initialization blocks.

[Larsen Raja]

Hi,

Where would variables initialized in initialization blocks be used? Since the scope would be resolved to the block only, these variables cannot be used outside I believe.

Hello Larsen, I recommend you write a test program and do some 'trial-and-error' coding it is a good way to resolve such doubts.

Variables declared or initialized in instance block? variables declared within it's scope can be used for computations = normal to what you use local variables in a method.

[Larsen Raja]

I tried using such variables outside the block, say another method. But this brings up compilation error. The variable cannot be resolved outside the init block.

Which is exactly what you'd expect from any local variable - the scope is limited to the block they are declared in.
