Local variables
Learn Local variables in WebAssembly through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.
Local variables is an atomic WebAssembly lesson inside Module Basics. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.
Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on Local variables rather than on generic WebAssembly syntax.
Topic-specific example
(module (func (export "sum") (param i32 i32) (result i32) (local $tmp i32) local.get 0 local.get 1 i32.add local.set $tmp local.get $tmp))
For Local variables, check operand/result types and trap conditions. WebAssembly validation is strict even when the surrounding host code is permissive.
