alice-teacher Do in order scope issue in Alice 3

[Melanie Lam]

Can you declare them outside of the ‘do in order’ and then assign them values inside?

It’s my understanding that if you declare variables within any of the control blocks like while/if/do together - they will be local to that block of code unless declared in the method.

Thanks,
Melanie
