Can anyone explain to me the benifits of declaring a variable before it gets used arpart from if you are wanting to specify a value type faor the variable? eg number, struct ect

The biggest difference (that I can think of) is that your code will throw an error when it gets compiled, telling you that a variable wasn't declared, rather than just producing 'strange and unexpected' behaviour when it runs, that may not be obvious enough for even rigorous testing to notice.

 

Its an ease of maintenance thing.
