Description

The extent of places where a variable can be used.

A variable's scope can be either local, script local, or global. A local variable can be used only in the current handler. A script local variable can be used in any handler in a script, but can't be used in handlers that are in other scripts. A global variable can be used in any handler where it's declared.
