[Help-bash] Does declare in function define local variables?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

The manual says

"""
The -g option forces variables to be created or modified at the global
scope, even when declare is executed in a shell function.
"""

`x` is not accessible outside the function. Is a variable declared
(without -g) in function local?

$ cat ./main.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# vim: set noexpandtab tabstop=2:

function f {
    declare x
    x=10
    declare -p x
}

x=42
f
declare -p x
$  ./main.shdeclare -- x="10"
declare -- x="42"
