It is already implied since the function body can be any valid statement, but it may not be obvious to a reader who has only ever seen functions that used curly brackets and assumes that they are part of the function syntax. * Remove the incorrect claim that a local statement may only occur at the top of a function. * Show that a value may be assigned to a variable in a local statement. * While here, replace unpaired double quotes with \(dq to avoid confusing syntax highlighters.
