- ## Constructor Details

  - ### BlockStatement

    public BlockStatement()

  - ### 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

  - ### 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
