Lexical scope
- Name resolution depending on the location in the source code and the lexical context (also called static context), which is defined by where the named variable or function is defined. In lexical scope, if a variable name’s scope is a certain function, then its scope is the program text of the function definition; within that text, the variable name exists, and is bound to the variable’s value, but outside that text, the variable name does not exist. ← Wikipedia
