25
Q

Event handler

A

A part of a program that runs when an event occurs.

26
Q

Global variable

A

A variable that can be used anywhere in a program, unlike a local variable, which can only be used in one portion of a program. In App Inventor, procedures, event handlers, and for loops can create a local variable that can only be used inside that procedure, event handler, or for loop.
