In Ruby 1.9, blocks introduce their own scope

With the latest release of ruby 1.9, blocks introduce their own scope. Below is the example.


x = 1

10.times do |u; x|

x =u
p "value of x - #{x}"

end

p "value of x - #{x}"


In the above case, x is treated as a local variable and we are assigning value of u to x in the loop.


Thank You,
