<P>
The <em>integer</em> declaration must be made immediately after a
<A HREF=r37_0040.html>begin</A> (or other variable declaration such as
<A HREF=r37_0216.html>real</A>
and
<A HREF=r37_0218.html>scalar</A>) and declares local integer variables. They are
initialized to 0.

<em>integer</em><identifier>{,<identifier>}*
<P>
<P>
<P>
<identifier> may be any valid REDUCE identifier, except
<em>t</em> or <em>nil</em>.
<P>
<P>
Integer variables remain local, and do not share values with variables of
the same name outside the
<A HREF=r37_0040.html>begin</A>...<em>end</em> block. When the
block is finished, the variables are removed. You may use the words
<A HREF=r37_0216.html>real</A> or
<A HREF=r37_0218.html>scalar</A> in the place of <em>integer</em>.
<em>integer</em> does not indicate typechecking by the
current REDUCE; it is only for your own information. Declaration
statements must immediately follow the <em>begin</em>, without a semicolon
between <em>begin</em> and the first variable declaration.
<P>
<P>
Any variables used inside <em>begin</em>...<em>end</em> blocks that were not
declared <em>scalar</em>, <em>real</em> or <em>integer</em> are global, and any
change made to them inside the block affects their global value. Any
<A HREF=r37_0188.html>array</A> or
<A HREF=r37_0345.html>matrix</A> declared inside a block is always global.
