Re: Variable declaration - C vs script style

Hello,

I've been wondering whether there are any differences in performance
when declaring variables within loops
comparing to all forward declarations. I'm mostly writing up to a few
hundred lines long scripts, but I need
relatively a lot variables, which look kind of ugly and IMO make the
script less readable when declared all
at the top. For example,

I would write for legibility, and worry about
performance only when forced.

If the limiting factor in your script
is the GC'ing of local variables,
you have an unusual script :-)
