Hi, I’m a total newbie to Corona SDK
what is the difference between
function Draw()
blah blah
end
and
local Draw = function()
blah blah
end
Are they pretty much the same except the second function is specifically a local function?
They are exactly the same, except that the first is global.
Notice you can also localize the first method:
[lua]
local function Draw()
blah blah
end
local Draw=function()
blah blah
end
[/lua]
The difference between them is that the second method hasn’t been initiated yet, so you can’t call itself - like so:
[lua]
local function Draw()
Draw() – Ok
end
local Draw=function()
Draw() – Not ok
end
[/lua]
Of course, the above code would result in a stack overflow, but the point is you can’t reference the second method from within the function.
That’s pretty much the only difference.

Thanks !
