+<hr>
+<p>
+
+There is not much difference between 
+<a href=../../C/SYNTAX/glo_int_vars.html> C local variables</a> but there
+is one important feature that should be noted.
+<ul>
+<li>Variable definitions are now considered to be executable statements.
+</ul>
+This means that you can now put variable definitions anywhere in the code 
+and not jut at the start of a 
+<a href=../../C/glossary.html#block>block.</a>
+Here is an example.
+
+<p>
+<center>
+<table bgcolor=ivory width="80%" border=1>
+<tr><td>
+<pre>
+
+    main()
+    {
+        float pi = 3.142;   // Usual location for variable definitions
+        
+        cout << "PI is " << pi << endl;
+        
+        int Count = 1;      // C++ allows us to place a definition here.
+        
+        while (Count < 10)
+        {
+            cout << Count << endl;
+        }
+    }
+</pre>
+</td></tr>
+</table>
+</center>
+<p>
+
+It should be noted that <b>Count</b> is only in scope (usable) from the 
+point of definition and to the end of the block.
+It can not be used in the previous <b>cout</b> statement.  
+<p>
+
+The idea of this feature is to allow you to put variable declarations 
+near to the place 
+you wish to use them. Personnaly, I feel this should not be neccasary
+if you write small concise functions....
+
+There is one natty feature of this facility though. Check this 
+example out.
+<p>
+<center>
+<table bgcolor=ivory width="80%" border=1>
+<tr><td>
+<pre>
+
+    main()
+    {
+        int Last = 10;      
+        
+        while (int Count; Count < Last; Count++)
+        {
+            cout << Count << endl;
+        }
+    }
+</pre>
+</td></tr>
+</table>
+</center>
+<p>
+In this example, <b>Count</b> is defined inside the <b>for</b> 
+statement and only exists while the for block is being executed.
