Is if(TRUE) a good idea in C?

Question

In the C programming language, it is my understanding that variables can only be defined at the beginning of a code block, and the variable will have the scope of the block it w

Answer 1

You don't even need an if statement. You can create blocks with {}

That should probably be a separate function however.

Example here:

#include 

int
main(int argc, char **argv) {
    int i = 0;
    {
        int i = 10;
        printf("%d\n", i);
    }
    printf("%d\n", i);
}
