    Many languages let you scope variables.

    In c# you can create an arbitrary scope to declare variables in. Most likely in others as well.

      Ah clever, didn’t think of doing this. Not having to encapsulate if statements in scopes would still look cleaner though

        It’s handy if you’re creating temp variables for single use that you don’t need to use again.

        Although I admit I’ve only ever done it a couple times lol

        Again in c# you can omit the scope and only the next statement is part of an if or loop.
