Diffrence between local functions and global functions

Hello Guys

For My Entire Scripting Journey I Never Noticed A Diffrence Between A Local Function And A Global Function

Can Somebody Explain it?

So if you have a local function, then the function can only be called in the code block that it was created in, and inferiors, while globals can be called anywhere
If I’m bad at explaining, check this out.

In addition to the above, when you not use local you are technically overwriting a variable, this:

Something = function()
	print("Something")
end

is equal to this:

function Something()
	print("Something")
end

You can also check this

local function Example()
	print("Something 1")
end
print(Example) --> function: 0x8cfb13e15b91d402

function Example()
	print("Something 2")
end
print(Example) --> function: 0x0be947a3943cca82

and that roblox typecheck gives a warn
