It really depends on the programming language, but in general, this is true. In Java, for example, the scope of a variable declared in a method is the method - outside of the method it is inaccessible, and once the method finishes execution, the variable disappears.
A local variable only exists within the scope in which it is declared. As soon as the scope ends, the variable ceases to exist. { // beginning of a scope, i does not yet exist int i = 42; // local variable declared, i now exists } // end of scope, i no longer exists
The Scope of a variable defines the areas of a program where this variable would be visible and can be used. For ex: a. Method variables - are visible only inside the method where they are declared and hence their scope is only the method b. Class variables - are visible inside the class and can be used by any method inside the class and hence their scope is the whole class.
A local class is declared locally within a block of Java code.You can even have classes declared inside a method. such classes are called local classes.
Scope of a variable is the lines of code from which it can be seen and/or manipulated. Scope can be thought of as visibility, because a variable's scope is where it is visible from. A variable declared within a function (or any block, for that matter) has scope only within that block. It is visible within that block, and from within any contained block, but not from within any containing (outer) blocks. However, it should be noted that if a variable's name is reused in a nested declaration, then the outer variable loses scope within that block. As a result, you can reuse, for instance, the variable "i" within a new block without compromising any use outside that block.
When you acess a global variable inside main function you must use the same name, because the variable declared as global can be accessed by any function/procedure on the class where it was defined.
Yes, that's the way it usually works in most programming languages.
I guess an object in a method would be any object variable, used within a method. An object variable of course is a variable that is declared as a variable of a certain class type.
A local variable only exists within the scope in which it is declared. As soon as the scope ends, the variable ceases to exist. { // beginning of a scope, i does not yet exist int i = 42; // local variable declared, i now exists } // end of scope, i no longer exists

When declared as static, the variable has internal linkage and its scope is restricted to the *.c file in which it is declared. It becomes visible to all functions within the file where it is declared and not to functions in other files.
Because that's what global means.

No. When a method is declared static, it is defined outside of any individual class reference.
The current status of the keyword variable in the program is dependent on its declaration and assignment within the code. If the variable has been declared and assigned a value, it is considered to be in use and holds that value until it is changed or the program ends. If the variable has not been declared or assigned a value, it is considered to be uninitialized and may cause errors if used in calculations or operations.
A data member belongs to an object of a class whereas local variable belongs to its current scope. A local variable is declared within the body of a function and can be used only from the point at which it is declared to the immediately following closing brace. A data member is declared in a class definition, but not in the body of any of the class member functions. Data members are accessible to all member function of the class.
When you acess a global variable inside main function you must use the same name, because the variable declared as global can be accessed by any function/procedure on the class where it was defined.
