Why some people say Local Variables are bad...

Amen...

The introduction of the Event Structure was a real blessing.

I just noticed, as i was reading back over these posts for fun, the case structure comments start with //. I guess this way the LV compiler will ignore them 

Edit: someone beat me to it

One positive point: At least it's colorful 🙂

If they had a seqeunce structure, their race condition could be avoided.

I've seen that type of code way to many times.  SHIFT REGISTERS PEOPLE!!!

It could have been worse...

He could have used globals for this. 🙂

Thierry,

Don't give them ideas 😉  Next thing they'll be using Shared Variables just because they have the error clusters.

Someone provided a nicer solution to the Locals abuse above.  It is also a candidate for Rube Goldberg code.

Well, at least globals are about twice as fast........

But OTOH, you need to carry along twice as many files. 😄

Lets do some performance benchmarks to see which one is the worst... 🙂

I'll go for property nodes... 😉
