While it is true that using a global variable is an easy way to deal with data that needs to be used by multiple functions, it is much cleaner to pass said data to the functions as parameters and have them be local variables of the calling function. This usually avoids a lot of problems!

If we could pass parameters by either reference or value instead of just by value, we could eliminate most global variables. This would also save space when passing large arrays.
