• var variableName = value;

What is the difference between local and global variables?

• Global variables are declared within a specific function or block of code.

• Local variables are declared outside of any function and can be accessed throughout the entire program.

• Local variables are declared within a specific function or block of code, while global variables are declared outside of any function and can be accessed throughout the entire program.

• Local variables are declared in a separate file from the global variables.

Explain the concept of scope in relation to variables in app development.

• The concept of scope refers to the color scheme used in the app design.

• The concept of scope refers to the visibility and accessibility of variables within different parts of the code.

• Scope is the term used to describe the size of the app icon on the home screen.

What are some best practices for naming variables in app development?

• It's okay to use reserved words for variable names

• Variables should have random and confusing names

• Use ALL_CAPS for variable names

• Variables should have clear and descriptive names, use camelCase or snake_case, avoid using reserved words, and be consistent with naming conventions.

How do app creators use variables to store and manipulate data in their apps?

• By ignoring variables and directly manipulating the data in the app

• By using variables to create bugs and errors in the app

• By randomly assigning values to variables without any purpose

• By declaring the variable, assigning a value to it, and then using it to perform operations or display information within the app.

What are some potential challenges app creators may face when tracking variables in their apps?

• User interface design, app performance, and app compatibility

• Marketing strategy, user engagement, and app monetization

• Data storage concerns, data manipulation, and data visualization

• Data privacy concerns, data accuracy, and data security

Explain the concept of data types and how they relate to variables in app development.

• Variables in app development have no relation to data types

• Data types in app development are only used for display purposes

• Variables in app development can store any type of data without restriction

• Variables in app development are assigned a specific data type, which determines the kind of data that can be stored in the variable.
