local function and function?

Is there a difference between using local function and function? [import]uid: 122076 topic_id: 21868 reply_id: 321868[/import]

Brandon,

A local (variable or function) exists only inside the element where it resides (a page, another function, etc), while a “global” (everything you do not define as a local) resides and it is accessible to every page of your application. The problem with globals is the fact they are always alive, consuming memory of the device. [import]uid: 4883 topic_id: 21868 reply_id: 86935[/import]

In short; use local whenever and wherever you can :wink: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 21868 reply_id: 86989[/import]
