variableScope

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?
(order shuffled)
In which of these blocks is the variable i in scope for the entirety of the block?
(order shuffled)
