Note: union 
added:
An example of Union for branches of 'if' that yield different
types:
\begin{spad}
)abbrev domain BBB Bbb
Bbb: with
    foo: Integer -> Integer
  == add
    foo(a: Integer): Integer ==
     x:Union(Integer,Float)
     if a>0 then
         x := 1
     else
         x := 2.3
     x case Integer => (x*x)::Integer
     wholePart(x*x)
\end{spad}

\begin{axiom}
foo(0)
foo(1)
\end{axiom}

j is referenced out of scope 

axiom
for i in 1..5 repeat
        j:Integer := i^2
        output(i::OutputForm)$OutputPackage
   1
   2
   3
   4
   5
Type: Void
axiom
output(j::OutputForm)$OutputPackage
   25
Type: Void

The code above returns an error in OpenAxiom? 1.2.0 (Revision >= 563).

It sould be written like this: 

axiom
j: Integer
Type: Void
axiom
for i in 1..5 repeat
        j := i^2
        output(i::OutputForm)$OutputPackage
   1
   2
   3
   4
   5
Type: Void
axiom
output(j::OutputForm)$OutputPackage
   25
Type: Void

Oddly, using j out of scope is also allowed in Aldor: 

aldor
#pile
#include "axiom"
import from PositiveInteger
CheckScope1(): with
    checkscope1: () -> PositiveInteger
  == add
    checkscope1():PositiveInteger ==
      for i in 1..5 repeat
        j:PositiveInteger := i^2
        --output(i::OutputForm)$OutputPackage
      --output(j::OutputForm)$OutputPackage

Ooops, what in would be illegal? I just had to replace (as I said) the braces by parentheses, since parens are used to group sequences of commands. (Same as braces in Aldor.)

But this works since z is now in "scope" of the function body of bar.

Aldor (at least, the reference manual says) so makes variable declarations `local', unless modified by `free' or `fluid' modifiers.

Gaby, on which page of the AUG is this written?
