declaring local variables in the game loop help

MoKaLux

hope you are all doing fine
Can you please share your lua knowledge?
I have some variables in the game loop of a class, what's the best way to declare them?

1. in the init as self?
   
2. outside as local?
   
3. or create them in the game loop?
   

local vx, vy -- here?   function LF_Dynamic_Character_Base:init(xworld, xparams) self.vx, self.vy -- here? end   function LF_Dynamic_Character_Base:onEnterFrame(e) self.posx, self.posy = self.body:getPosition() local vx, vy = self.body:getLinearVelocity() -- here? end

Is it just a matter of taste?

Thank you.

Make them local to the function they are used in every time it is possible, this is not only cleaner but faster
