Java: Scope and Reassignment
Answer
The variable is recreated each loop iteration and not accessible outside the loop.
A variable declared inside a loop, such as 'itemPrice' in a cart total calculation, is initialized anew each iteration. This helps in scenarios like adding up different item prices in a shopping cart, as each 'itemPrice' is specific to the current item.
