14.3 Local Variable Declaration Statements

A local variable declaration statement declares one or more local variable names.

LocalVariableDeclarationStatement:

	LocalVariableDeclaration ;

LocalVariableDeclaration:

	Type VariableDeclarators

The following are repeated from §8.3 to make the presentation here clearer:

VariableDeclarators:

	VariableDeclarator

	VariableDeclarators , VariableDeclarator

VariableDeclarator:

	VariableDeclaratorId

	VariableDeclaratorId = VariableInitializer

VariableDeclaratorId:

	Identifier

	VariableDeclaratorId [ ]

VariableInitializer:

	Expression

	ArrayInitializer

Every local variable declaration statement is immediately contained by a block. Local variable declaration statements may be intermixed freely with other kinds of statements in the block.

A local variable declaration can also appear in the header of a for statement (§14.12). In this case it is executed in the same manner as if it were part of a local variable declaration statement.
