Language/Type: Java expressions for %

A variable's scope is the part of a program in which it exists. In Java, the scope of a variable starts when it is declared and ends when the closing curly brace for the block that contains it is reached. A variable is said to be in scope where it is accessible.

Consider the following program:

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        performTest();
    }

    public static void performTest() {
        int count = 12;
        for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++) {
            runSample();
            System.out.print(count);   
        }
    }

    public static void runSample() {
        System.out.print("sample");
    }
}

In which of these blocks is the variable count in scope for the entirety of the block?
for loop performTest method runSample method main method (order shuffled)
In which of these blocks is the variable i in scope for the entirety of the block?
for loop main method runSample method performTest method (order shuffled)
