The example provided is fairly worthless without a context.
Using the private command allows you to declare a variable in the current scope, without regards to variables in a higher scope with the same name. Note that if you try to declare a variable without an underscore (meaning it's global) with the private command, it will cause an error. Specifically: "Error Local variable in global space".
Here's a code example with output for your benefit.
_foo = 10; if (true) then { private ["_foo"]; _foo = 5; player sideChat format ["%1", _foo]; }; player sideChat format ["%1", _foo];
In this example, the first sidechat (innermost) returns 5 while the second sidechat (outermost) returns 10.
if (true) then { private ["_bar"]; _bar = 5; player sideChat format ["%1", _bar]; };
In this example, the private command does nothing and is simply a waste of code, assuming there is no higher level code to interfere with the if statement.
