I mean maybe I'm wrong or ahead of time , but just for the sake of it I just tried it and it worked fine . It seems much more straight forward than declaring the String fact , setting it to be equal to fact just to than set factLebal's text to fact's String. Please share your thoughts on the subject , Is it right to do this the way I described ? will it cause problems along the way ?

18,131 PointsThis is more efficient, and your program will technically use less memory. I tend to do write my code like that a lot. You may run into some issues if you were to wrap that code in a loop and do some large iteration, depending on what goes inside the function. In that case it would make sense to declare the variable separately.
