Differences between declare, typeset and local variable in Bash

Question

When typing variables in Bash, what is the difference between declare and typeset? When used inside a function: what is the difference between de

Answer 1

As far as bash is concerned, no, there is no difference. In fact, the manpage has them share the same definition

declare [-aAfFilrtux] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
typeset [-aAfFilrtux] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
Declare variables and/or give them attributes. If no names are given then display the values of variables. The -p option will display the attributes and values of each name...

I also found this little tidbit which further substantiates my claim as well as the ksh portability you mentioned.

The declare or typeset builtins, which are exact synonyms, permit modifying the properties of variables. This is a very weak form of the typing [1] available in certain programming languages. The declare command is specific to version 2 or later of Bash. The typeset command also works in ksh scripts.
