Ruby 循环中的变量选择：局部变量还是实例变量

From the ruby programming language.

Blocks and Variable Scope

Blocks define a new variable scope: variables created within a block exist only within that block and are undefined outside of the block.

 

Be cautious, however; the local variables in a method are available to any blocks within that method.

 

So if a block assigns a value to a variable that is already defined outside of the block, this does not create a new block-local variable but instead assigns a new value to the already-existing variable. Sometimes, this is exactly the behavior we want.
