Understanding scope

The scope of a variable is the area or length of code that can be used. In a sense, scope is a variable's lifetime. There are two primary types of scope that we use with regularity in C#:

• Local scope: These variables are defined within a method or inside the block of a method. Local scope variables defined within a method are released when the method ends. 
• Class-level scope: All the names defined inside the current class, aside from local names, are said to be local to that class. This means that the class-level variables live as long as the class is active.

Code blocks are generally the means of defining a scope and are marked with curly braces {}:
