Global Variables Global variables are used in applications in programming. There are advantages and disadvantages to using these variables. Using global variables has its advantages in some forms of applications, while using them in others would make using them more difficult. Global variables are useful when you need to share a function with all functions in an application. Global variables can be easier to identify in an application by giving them a unique name, so that other programmers can

Instructions? In the case of the interpreter, it translates and executes each line of codes one line at a time. Thus if the program has syntax errors (violation of program rule) lower down in the code, you never know until the interpreter reaches to that statement. 3.) Explain the “fectch-decode-execute” cycle. In the first step, fetch instruction, the processor fetches the instruction from the memory. The instruction is transferred from memory to instruction register. The processor is ready to fetch instruction

Disadvantages and Advantages of Using Global Variables The disadvantages of using global variables is that it has a lack of access control which can hinder security when working with 3rd party plug –ins. Global variables can have unlimited mutual dependencies which can make the program complexed according and integrating modules can also be difficult because other software written may use the same global variable names and your intentions were to use a local variable, creating name – space pollution

program. * Avoid passing frequently-used variables between several functions. * A global variable is accessible in every scope. * A global variable can potentially be modified from anywhere. * It can be accessed from any other files using extern. Disadvantages of using Global Variables * Non-locality -- Source code is easiest to understand when the scope of its individual elements is limited. Global variables can be read or modified by any part of the program, making it difficult

program easier to read in reference to constants Disadvantages * It makes debugging difficult * If modules use global variables it is dependent upon the module and if other modules are presented you have to redesign all over each time. * Any statement in a program can change the variable * It makes a program hard to understand since it can be modified and have to be aware of all other parts of the program that access it. * Global variables are not willing direct into flowcharts 2.
