Is a block a statement? - c

Question

In C11 standard ( I don't have the latest standard):
6.8 Statements and blocks
A block allows a set of declarations and statements to be grouped into one syntactic unit.
The initializers of objects that have automatic storage duration, and the variable length
array declarators of ordinary identifiers with block scope, are evaluated and the values are
stored in the objects (including storing an indeterminate value in objects without an
initializer) each time the declaration is reached in the order of execution, as if it were a
statement, and within each declaration in the order that declarators appear.
Is a block a statement?

Answer 1

Simply put, yes. In its simplest interpretation, if we look at the grammar production before your quote. The most obvious block is a compound statement.
statement:
labeled-statement
compound-statement
expression-statement
selection-statement
iteration-statement
jump-statement
The production of compound-statement describes blocks. And even says this explicitly in a paragraph following that
6.8.2 Compound statement
compound-statement:
{ block-item-list }
block-item-list:
block-item
block-item-list block-item
block-item:
declaration
statement
2 A compound statement is a block.
And other statements in the following sections are also designated as blocks. For instance
6.8.4 Selection statements
3 A selection statement is a block whose scope is a strict subset of
the scope of its enclosing block. Each associated substatement is also
a block whose scope is a strict subset of the scope of the selection
statement.
Nothing except the statements described in 6.8 is ever called a block. So blocks are always a statement of some sort. The rule of thumb is that a statement with { } always means a block.

Answer 2

From wikibooks,
A block is a program region containing definitions of variables and that delimits the regions where these definitions apply. In C programming language, a block is created using a pair of curly braces. The beginning of the block is denoted by an open curly brace '{' and the end is denoted by a closing curly brace '}'. The block collects statements together into a single compound statements.
The C code bellow shows a block where the block is used only to define a scope of a variable and it is not a statement.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int n = 1;
{
int n = 2;
printf("%d\n", n);
}
printf("%d\n", n);
}
EDIT:
As already mentioned I have made a mistake saying that block is not always a statement but the correct answer is that block is ALWAYS a statement.
