- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### BlockStatement

          public BlockStatement()

    - #### BlockStatement

          public BlockStatement(List<Statement> statements,
                                VariableScope scope)

      Creates a BlockStatement with a scope and children statements.
      Parameters:
        `statements` - the statements. Do not pass null. If you do, no exception will occur, but a NullPointerException will eventually occur later. Also, a reference to the list is kept, so modifying the List later does effect this class.
        `scope` - the scope

    - #### BlockStatement

          public BlockStatement(Statement[] statements,
                                VariableScope scope)

      Creates a BlockStatement with a scope and children statements.
      Parameters:
        `statements` - the statements, which cannot be null or an exception occurs. No reference to the array is held, so modifying the array later has no effect on this class.
        `scope` - the scope
