Explanation

Local Values (defined in a locals {} block) allow you to assign a name to an expression and reuse it throughout the module without repetition. This is ideal for complex or repeated conditional expressions. Unlike variables (which are inputs from outside the module) or outputs, locals are scoped to the module and computed internally. This keeps code DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and easier to maintain - changing the expression in one place updates it everywhere it is referenced.
