if i declare a var in void setup() and try to do something with it in void loop(), it just says that the variable is undeclared. here is the code:
#include "Servo.h"
void setup()
Servo servo1;
int x_key = A0;
servo1.attach(2);
pinMode(A0, INPUT);
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
int x_position = 90;
void loop()
if (analogRead(A0) < 512)
x_position++;
servo1.write(x_position);

Because the variable is only valid, where it is declared, to use the official term: it's scope. When the program moves out of the scope of this variable, it will get thrown away and be no longer available. You can declare it in global scope, meaning outside of any function

Yes, that is how C and C++ (and most other C-like languages) work. Variables have "scope". Any variable define inside a pair of curly braces (between a and a ) is only visible inside those braces.
If you want to reference a variable in both setup() and loop(), you have to make it a global variable, defined at the top of your code.
#include "Servo.h"
Servo servo1;
int x_position = 90; //Define your global var(s) here
void setup()
int x_key = A0; //This var only exists inside the setup function
servo1.attach(2);
pinMode(A0, INPUT);
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
void loop()
if (analogRead(A0) < 512)
x_position++;
servo1.write(x_position);
