It claims that given the right circumstances, code which is optimized regarding Name Lookups can have an up to 70% performance boost. In one very situational example, it cl...

C# Variable Scoping

if(true) { string var = "VAR"; } string var = "New VAR!"; This will result in: Error 1 A local variable named 'var' cannot be declared in this scope because it would give a different meaning to 'var', which is already used in a 'child' scope to denote something else. Nothing earth shattering really, but isn't thi...

XSLT: Matching Xpath attributes to attributes from for-each scope

Python function local variable scope during exceptions

Background: I'm doing COM programming of National Instruments' TestStand in Python. TestStand complains if objects aren't "released" properly (it pops up an "objects not released properly" debug dialog box).
