Consider the following program in a language that has dynamic scooping:
var x: real;
procedure show;
         begin print(x); end;
procedure small;
         var x: real;
             begin x: = 0.125; show; end;
begin x:=0.25;
         show; small
         end;
Then the output of the program is:
A
0.125 0.125
B
0.25 0.25
C
0.25 0.125
D
0.125 0.25
