A compound statement, or block, is a list (possibly empty) of statements enclosed in matching braces ({ }). Syntactically, a block can be considered to be a single statement, but it also plays a role in the scoping of identifiers. An identifier declared within a block has a scope starting at the point of declaration and ending at the closing brace. Blocks can be nested to any depth up to the limits of memory.
