    Local variables have uses like allowing the same block to be used in multiple positions and for writing to controls, but they also have drawbacks like making block diagrams less readable and introducing potential race conditions. Race conditions occur when multiple tasks can access the same local variable at the same time. They can be avoided by using less variables, sequential logic instead of parallel tasks, and controlling access to shared resources with techniques like mutexes or semaphores. Parallel loops allow tasks to run simultaneously or at different rates, while queues can help coordinate parallel access to shared resources.

    1. Local variable does not work with latch…….

    2. Global variables can contain more than 1 data types because you can select item from menu.

    Uses of Local Variables


    1. To use the same block at multiple positions in block diagram (initialize)
    2. Write to controls
    3. Parallel processing because using wire, it is not possible.

    Drawbacks of Local Variables


    1. Less readable block diagram
    2. Less mechanical actions
    3. Slow performance
    4. Race conditions (when you are writing to the same local variable)

    Race Condition:
    Reasons:
    1. Multiple reader/writers at same time (two tasks have same access)
    2. Execute multiple tasks in parallel
    3. Share value between two parallel tasks using local variable

    Avoidance:
    1. Less use of variables
    2. Sequential logic
    3. Control shared resources

    Why Use Parallel Loops???????


    1. Perform tasks simultaneously
    2. Perform tasks at different rates

    Queues:
