I agree with Lou, but I feel unsure about the scope rules.

No, it should print 0, then 5, then 10.

Hmm, I thought the output would be 0 10 10. This C++ scoping thing is tricky.

The inner block overrides the outer block's variable, so the output is 0 5 10.

I believe it prints 0, then 5, and finally 10. I just hope I got the scoping right!

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

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.
