L15[04:23:51] <MadM​an310> im new at OC but im wondering why people always put "local" when they load APIs

L16[04:26:28] <MadM​an310> For example

L17[04:26:28] <MadM​an310> ` local component = require("component) `

L18[04:26:37] <MadM​an310> For example

L19[04:26:38] <MadM​an310> ` local component = require("component") ` [Edited]

L20[04:27:16] <Vinni​e Sift> " Unlike global variables, local variables have their scope limited to the block where they are declared. A block is the body of a control structure, the body of a function, or a chunk (the file or string with the code where the variable is declared). "

L21[04:27:52] <Vinni​e Sift> Because they are limited to that specific piece of code that will use that api at that moment

L22[04:28:45] <MadM​an310> Then why do people put them at the beginning of their program? Wouldnt it affect the whole script?

L23[04:29:59] <Vinni​e Sift> Yes, they are limited to the whole script and nothing outside of it

L24[04:30:20] <Vinni​e Sift> "It is good programming style to use local variables whenever possible. Local variables help you avoid cluttering the global environment with unnecessary names. Moreover, the access to local variables is faster than to global ones. "

L25[04:30:30] <Vinni​e Sift> It's mostly a good practice

L26[04:30:49] <MadM​an310> So if you didnt use local it would just make things a bit slower?

L27[04:31:10] <MadM​an310> Or would it also affect other scripts

L28[04:34:21] <Vinni​e Sift> It could. I'm not fully sure of how they are handled, but global variables are aviable for the entire computer and all scripts running and then they aren't deleted until they are = nil

L29[04:35:09] <Vinni​e Sift> If you use something shortlived, just for one script, use local and they will be cleaned when the script doesn't exist anymore

L30[04:36:43] <Vinni​e Sift> If you aren't filling the memory with variables that could break something when something else uses a similar variable, you are just writing in an unnefective way that could break in a different enviroment. Local are more controlled

L31[04:55:49] <Izaya> anything you don't explicitly want to share should be local

L32[05:46:36] <Michiyo> If script A sets variable test = false, and then later script B just blindly checks test then test will be false.

L33[05:46:53] <Michiyo> Wow, this was an hour ago

L144[22:46:57] <hidude398> Does anyone know if there's a way to find which side a microcontroller receives a network message from? I know that they can receive messages from all sides, and can output when the side is set, but I haven't the slightest if they are capable of determining where inbound messages came from. I'm trying to set up a microcontroller to behave similar t

L145[22:46:57] <hidude398> o a hub or switch IRL, and I wanted to confirm it was possible to do so.

L146[22:49:15] <hidude398> Correction to the above, I meant bridge rather than switch. I know that relays effectively behave as hubs

L147[22:49:35] <hidude398> Or apparently my brain is scrambled. I'm attempting to implement switches and bridges

L148[22:55:17] <Ocawes​ome101> there's a "network switch" block or something similar

L149[22:55:30] <Ocawes​ome101> iirc

L150[22:58:34] <Kristo​pher38> I remember an issue on github about just that or something

L151[22:58:54] <Kristo​pher38> And payonel saying it's not currently possible to differentiate which side the network message came from

L152[22:59:01] <hidude398> Yeah, it's the relay block. It used to be called the switch, but it was a bit of a misnomer because it will forward messages to all connected networks

L153[22:59:06] <Kristo​pher38> And that this needs to be reworked

L154[22:59:38] <hidude398> Gotcha. Yeah the github issue was about binding an output side to the microcontroller.

L155[23:00:37] <hidude398> I know that minitel uses servers to route network traffic, but I was hoping to avoid using something so expensive

L156[23:01:18] <M​GR> I don't believe there is a way to tell the input side

L158[23:02:04] <hidude398> Oh well, off to find a workaround!
