# Blocks and Scopes
## Blocks
A block in Rust contains a sequence of expressions, enclosed by braces `{}`.
Each block has a value and a type, which are those of the last expression of the
block:
@ -19,14 +17,22 @@ fn main() {
z - y
};
println!("x: {x}");
// println!("y: {y}");
}
```
If the last expression ends with `;`, then the resulting value and type is `()`.
A variable's scope is limited to the enclosing block.
<details>
- You can show how the value of the block changes by changing the last line in
the block. For instance, adding/removing a semicolon or using a `return`.
- Demonstrate that attempting to access `y` outside of its scope won't compile.
- Values are effectively "deallocated" when they go out of their scope, even if
their data on the stack is still there.

# Scopes and Shadowing
A variable's scope is limited to the enclosing block.
You can shadow variables, both those from outer scopes and variables from the
same scope:
```rust,editable
fn main() {
let a = 10;
println!("before: {a}");
{
let a = "hello";
println!("inner scope: {a}");
let a = true;
println!("shadowed in inner scope: {a}");
}
println!("after: {a}");
}
```
<details>
- Show that a variable's scope is limited by adding a `b` in the inner block in
the last example, and then trying to access it outside that block.
- Shadowing is different from mutation, because after shadowing both variables'
memory locations exist at the same time. Both are available under the same
name, depending where you use it in the code.
- A shadowing variable can have a different type.
- Shadowing looks obscure at first, but is convenient for holding on to values
after `.unwrap()`.
