/// Dart is a lexically scoped language, which means that the scope of variables is determined statically, simply by the layout of the code. You can “follow the curly braces outwards” to see if a variable is in scope.

// example
bool topLevel = true;
void main() { // 
  var insideMain = true;
  void myFunction() {
    var insideFunction = true;
    void nestedFunction() {
      var insideNestedFunction = true;
      assert(topLevel);
      assert(insideMain);
      assert(insideFunction);
      assert(insideNestedFunction);
    }
    nestedFunction();
  }
  myFunction();
}
