-A *declaration_statement* declares one or more local variables, one or more local constants, a local function, or a local using scope ([§13.14.2](statements.md#13142-using-declaration)). Declaration statements are permitted in blocks and switch blocks, but are not permitted as embedded statements. A *local_using_declaration* differs from the other forms in that it shall not appear directly in a *switch_block*, but may appear in a block nested within a *switch_block*.

-A local variable is declared using a *local_variable_declaration* ([§13.6.2](statements.md#1362-local-variable-declarations)). A local constant is declared using a *local_constant_declaration* ([§13.6.3](statements.md#1363-local-constant-declarations)). A local function is declared using a *local_function_declaration* ([§13.6.4](statements.md#1364-local-function-declarations)). A using declaration is declared using a *local_using_declaration* (§13.14.2).
-
 Except for a *local_using_declaration*, the declared names are introduced into the nearest enclosing declaration space ([§7.3](basic-concepts.md#73-declarations)). A *local_using_declaration* introduces a new declaration space and scope that extends from the declaration to the end of the enclosing block, as specified in [§13.14.2](statements.md#13142-using-declaration).
