A local-variable-declaration declares one or more local variables. local-variable-declaration : typelocal-variable-declaratorslocal-variable-declarators : local-variable-declaratorlocal-variable-declarators,local-variable-declaratorlocal-variable-declarator : identifieridentifier=local-variable-initializerlocal-variable-initializer : expressionarray-initializer The type of a local-variable-declaration specifies the type of the variables introduced by the declaration. The type is followed by a list of local-variable-declarators, each of which introduces a new variable. A local-variable-declarator consists of an identifier that names the variable, optionally followed by an "=" token and a local-variable-initializer that gives the initial value of the variable. The value of a local variable is obtained in an expression using a simple-name (14.5.2), and the value of a local variable is modified using an assignment (14.13). A local variable must be definitely assigned (12.3) at each location where its value is obtained. The scope of a local variable declared in a local-variable-declaration is the block in which the declaration occurs. It is an error to refer to a local variable in a textual position that precedes the local-variable-declarator of the local variable. Within the scope of a local variable, it is a compile-time error to declare another local variable or constant with the same name. A local variable declaration that declares multiple variables is equivalent to multiple declarations of single variables with the same type. Furthermore, a variable initializer in a local variable declaration corresponds exactly to an assignment statement that is inserted immediately after the declaration. [Example: The example corresponds exactly to end example]
