Answer 1

a can only be accessed inside the loops brackets, the scope where it was declared. Outside the scope it is unknown, just like global and local variables work, too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scope_(computer_science)

Answer 2

you can not access the local variables outside the its block..
