Scopes

Scopes in Genpay are the main separators between code, variables, and data. Every scope has its own set of variables, types, and full access to parent scope data. When a scope ends, the compiler automatically cleans up data and variables.

In Genpay, scopes can be defined with curly brackets.

Example

// GLOBAL SCOPE

fn main() {
  // MAIN FN SCOPE
  let a = 10;

  {
    // TEMP SCOPE
    a = 5;
  }

  if a == 5 {
  // IF STATEMENT SCOPE
    println!("{}", a);
  }
}
