Within subroutines and functions, you should use local variables rather
than global variables whenever possible. Local, in this case, means that
the variables are defined between the sub/function and end sub/function
statements. Within subroutines and functions, access to local variables
is faster than to global variables. Plus, it makes for cleaner and more
readable code and easier debugging.
For example, instead of writing<%
dim intCounter
function howMany
for intCounter = 1 to 100
next
howMany = intCounter
end function
response.write howMany
%>
you should write this instead:<%
function howMany
dim intCounter
for intCounter = 1 to 100
next
howMany = intCounter
end function
response.write howMany
%>
Use Local Variables
