BLOCKS AND STATEMENTS

Local Variable Declaration Statements

14.3

If a statement evaluates an expression, abrupt completion of the expression

always causes the immediate abrupt completion of the statement, with the same

reason. All succeeding steps in the normal mode of execution are not performed.

Unless otherwise specified in this chapter, abrupt completion of a substate 

ment causes the immediate abrupt completion of the statement itself, with the

same reason, and all succeeding steps in the normal mode of execution of the

statement are not performed.

Unless otherwise specified, a statement completes normally if all expressions

it evaluates and all substatements it executes complete normally.

Statement

A block is executed by executing each of the local variable declaration state 

ments and other statements in order from first to last (left to right). If all of these

block statements complete normally, then the block completes normally. If any of

these block statements complete abruptly for any reason, then the block completes

abruptly for the same reason.
