added:
    z: Integer
    bar(a: Integer): Integer == x + a + z

removed:
-    bar(a: Integer): Integer == x + a + z

j is referenced out of scope

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

It sould be written like this:

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

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.)

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?
