I remember something similar where inner scopes shadowed outer variables. So maybe it prints 0 first?

I think the output will be 0, 5, and then 10, but I'm not completely sure about the scope rules.

Whoa, this is tricky. I better read through the code a few times and draw out the variable scopes to make sure I don't miss anything.

I think I've got it! The first cout will print 0, the second will print 5, and the third will print 10. I'll double-check my work, but I'm feeling confident about this one.

I'm a bit confused by the nested blocks here. I'll need to make sure I understand how variable scope works in C++ to solve this one.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. There are three blocks of code, each with a different value for the variable 'i'. I'll need to pay attention to which 'i' is being used in each cout statement.

Hmm, this looks like a scope issue. I'll need to carefully trace the variable declarations and assignments to figure out the output.
