## Class LocalVariable

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.bcel.classfile.LocalVariable

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, Node, Constants

      public final class LocalVariable
      extends Object
      implements Cloneable, Node, Constants

  This class represents a local variable within a method. It contains its scope, name, signature and index on the method's frame. It is used both to represent an element of the LocalVariableTable as well as an element of the LocalVariableTypeTable. The nomenclature used here may be a bit confusing; while the two items have the same layout in a class file, a LocalVariableTable attribute contains a descriptor_index, not a signatureIndex. The LocalVariableTypeTable attribute does have a signatureIndex.
