Daydreams of Scope

Does anyone know…

:question_mark: Is there an situation where there is a difference between writing code directly interface.js, and within a file that's included in interface.js?

:question_mark: What is the difference (in scope) between declaring a variable as const and global? (I'm guessing that only the global variables can be accessed in the real-time thread, etc.)

:question_mark: What is the difference between const and const var?

This bug - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/10929/console-blink-not-blinking/17 -apart from that I don't think so.

A const variable is one that's value cannot be changed after declaration.
A global variable can be accessed from all script processors, not just the one in which it was created - and they make code messy so avoid them if you can (although some people, cough cough... Aaron, likes them) :)

The second one takes up more space on the screen. Other than that no difference. My OCD makes me remove the var.
