Hi all,
What is the difference between creating a variable in Load Editor (set / let) and in the App itself (see picture below)?
Are there any disadvantages/advantages using one or the other?
One advanced in the Load Editor I see, but please correct me if I am wrong, is to generate a 'order'. Hence able to control the dependencies of the variables.
Thanks for any help.
George
Hi George,
The advantages to creating them in the load editor:
The only advantage I can think of to creating a variable in the App:
Note that a variable created in the load editor, and then removed from the load editor after a load, will remain in the variables list in the app.

Thanks Laurischarf
So I will use going forward variable only in the load editor. advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
And as I said, a further advantage in load editor, is to be able to put the variables in an order:
let x = 1+3
let y = x +1
