where is a variable that has class or global scope declared
Global variable In some languages, all variables are global, or global by default, while in most modern languages variables have limited scope, generally lexical scope, though global variables are often available by declaring a variable at the top level of the program. In other languages, however, global variables do not exist; these are generally modular programming languages that enforce a module structure, or class-based object-oriented programming languages that enforce a class structure.
.properties Each parameter is stored as a pair of strings, one storing the name of the parameter (called the key), and the other storing the value.
