This is just intuition, but my understanding is that the double is
defined inside the for loop body block, and the int is defined outside
of it (it has to be, to persist its value), so there are 2 different
scopes, so it's not an error.
The analogous non-loop code would therefore be this, rather than what
you posted:
int i = 0;
{
cout << i << endl;
double i = 10.0;
cout << i << endl;
}
