 Dynamic scoping

 1 The variable that is not defined in the current scope is looked for in the most recent activation record.
 

 2In computer programming in general, a scope is an enclosing context. Scopes have contents which are associated with them. Various programming languages have various types of scopes. The type of scope determines what kind of entities it can contain and how it affects them. Depending on its type, a scope can: * contain declarations or definitions of identifiers;* contain statements and/or expressions which define an executable algorithm or part thereof;* nest or be nested.
