(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In computer programming, the scope of an identifier refers to where and when in the program the identifier can be referenced. Scope applies to all identifiers in a program, but it is mostly used for variables, functionss and classeses.
For example, the scope of a variable refers to where in the program the variable can be accessed and/or modified. For a function, to where the function can be called, and so on.
Common scope levels:
Because of this automatic scope handling, careful magamenent of variable, class and function names should be a requirement for any non-trivial program. It is considered good programming practice to make variables as narrow a scope as feasible so that different parts of your program do not accidentally interact with each other by modifying each other's variables. Common techniques for doing so are to have different sections of your program use different namespaces, or else make individual variables private through either dynamic variable scoping or lexical variable scoping.
Also the term used in firearms for a telescopic sight.
