Global variables vs local variables is a concept in programming that deals with the scope and visibility of variables within a program.

Key Features

  • Global variables are accessible throughout the entire program
  • Local variables are only accessible within the scope in which they are defined
  • Global variables can lead to issues with naming conflicts and unintended side effects
  • Local variables help keep code organized and prevent unintended changes to values

Pros

  • Global variables provide easy access to data across functions and modules
  • Local variables help maintain encapsulation and prevent unintended changes

Cons

  • Global variables can introduce bugs due to their wide scope
  • Local variables may require extra effort to pass values between functions or modules
