VAR

This declare a Variable for later use. If the variable name if followed by brackets '()' it will be defined as an array.

This differs from SET as it will declare the variable at the current scope level and ensure that any subsequent GET or SET commands refer to this variable rather than one set at a higher level.

If you are using a variable for the first time, VAR will execute quicker than SET.
