Answer
Shadowing can lead to logic errors and misinterpretation of code.
In a checkout process, shadowing a variable like 'totalPrice' might cause logic errors, as operations intended for the outer variable might mistakenly apply to the inner one, resulting in incorrect totals. This impacts the accuracy of the checkout calculation.
