Definition

A local variable is a variable that is specific to a process in the same way as a public variable: they are both accessible from other places in the code than the process/function itself. However, unlike a public variable, when a local variable is declared, all following processes will have that local.

Note that in most versions of Fenix the first local variable to be defined is bugged and will cause the program to crash if used. To avoid this, the first local to be declared by the user should not be used, but instead be a garbage variable.

There's also a number of predefined local variables, which are listed below.

Example

Program example;
Const
    someconstantvariable;
Global
    int globalint;
    string globalstring;
    //etc...
Local
    int UNUSED; //this variable is not used as it is bugged
    //[insert local variables that you can use here]
Begin
    //rest of program...
End
