Description

Action; used to declare local or non-local variables. If you declare variables inside a function, the variables are local. They are defined for the function and expire at the end of the function call. If variables are not declared inside a block (`{}`), but the action list was executed with a `call` action, the variables are local and expire at the end of the current list. If variables are not declared inside a block and the current action list was not executed with the `call` action, the variables are not local.

Example

The following examples use the `var` action to declare and assign variables:

    var x;
    var y = 1;
    var z = 3, w = 4;
    var s, t, u = z;
