Different sums for 1 to 10 and 1 to 5
PS C:\Source>gcc sumVersion6.c PS C:\Source>a sum of 1..10: 55 sum of 1..5: 15 PS C:\Source>
Comments:
The identifier sum in the function has block scope and
corresponds to a local variable for that function.
The same identifier used in main() has block scope and
corresponds to a different variable.
The variables are local (automatic) and should be initialized.
