declaration before expression

[Hamed Zahedi]

I understand that a declaration must preceed any statements inside the body of
an SL program, however, do we also have to ensure that this hold true for
statements written inside if-statements, for-loops and while-loops etc?
i.e. which of the following are valid or are they both valid?

begin
// declaration
//statement
for loop
// statement
//declaration
// satement
endfor;
end;

begin
// declaration
//statement
for loop
//declaration
// satement
endfor;
end;

essentially i'm trying to figure out if we can use the same logic inside a
conditional or looping statement (namely "block") as we use within the body of
our code (namely "body")

thanks in advance

Variable declarations occur at the beginning of the procedure body, before
non-variable declaration statements. You cannot have variable
declarations in the block statements of if_statements, while_statements
etc.
