You are correct, In many languages c, javaScript, ... the variables defined outside of a function are available globally. This often leads to very sloppy code with lots of globals, in beginning programmers. The BASIC I learned kept each function/subroutine as a separate variable context (except for the ones specifically set as global). Old habits.
