Java: Scope and Reassignment
Answer
Parameters are only accessible within the method they are declared in.
Method parameters are local to the method, which means they can't be accessed outside it. In an e-commerce function, a 'price' parameter passed to a method calculating discount can be manipulated within the method, but once the method exits, that parameter is no longer available.
