Block Statement

The block statement is used to indicate a group of statements are going to be placed in a particular section of code. The block statment is required to declare the contents of a routine, an event, a before or after section in an object or class, the definition of an object or a class, and where normally only one single statement is allowed, the block statement represents the equivalent of one statement.

A block statement begins with the open brace { and ends with a close brace }.
