That x is the global x. Also, it gets incremented to 10, not 9.

For the sake of brevity: Public class MyClass { Private int x = 1; Public MyClass() { myMethod(); } Private void myMethod() { For (x =0; x<10; x++) { } } } ...obviously x gets finally incremented to 9 and since it's global then it throws off any reuse of the variable.
