Ignore last post, C Programming question

["Travis Davies" <travisdavies@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the accidental half written post before.
I have a small question for all of you C coders.

Lets say my main() looks like this:

        int main(){

                  {
                      int x = 0;
                      do_something_using_x
                  }

             DO_SOMTHING_ELSE....

           return 0;
        } // end of main

I understand that x is local to that particular segment. But when that segment terminates (and never used again) does x still exist? or is it destroyed/free-ed and given back to the system? 

Sincerely,
Travis
