Couldn't find a specific place to post this.
in the reference for Variable Scope, it is stated...
Variables in the C programming language, which Arduino uses, have a property called scope. This is in contrast to languages such as BASIC where every variable is a global variable.
This is not strictly true for all BASICs and my be misleading/confusing to some readers. Perhaps the text should be altered in light of this?
e.g. Visual Basic, XBasic, Dark Basic & Free Basic to name just a few all have forms of scoping (although they may or may not be directly analogous with C scoping).
Any thoughts?
