declaration
Defines the properties of units local to the program. It is possible to declare data types, data objects, classes, interfaces, and field symbols. Declarations are made using either declaration statements or as inline declarations using declaration expressions. The declared unit is visible statically as soon as it is declared and is valid across the entire context.
