anyways, saying that having to declare and initialise variables separately increases the line count of a script is not true.

the amount of lines has always been in kixtart coding totally about the scripters liking.
no matter how complex your script, you can always write it in single line.

and true words there richie.
even though implicit declaration works, it's not the best way to go.
imho, it works for short simple scripts but gradually as the complexity of the script grows, every global variable adds to the pain of the scripter exponentially.
specially when implicitly declared.
