What is a term for the category of global and local in programming? For example I want to use local/global in my game, but I need a word that means global or local. The word be used like so:
The ____ is global.
For programmers
I'm trying to make an enumeration that uses Global and Local, except I need a word to categorize the enum.
Edit:
To clarify why the answer is definitely scope:
I am making a high score system and I would like there to be the local high score and the global high score.

In programming, scope is the term used to describe the parts of the program where a binding of a name to an entity - e.g. a variable - is valid.
