Is it better to declare the float stoppingDistance = 0.1f outside the Update method (but still inside the class) to save creating it for each frame?
Scope vs performance shrug
Technically in terms of performance probably (not 100% sure, the compiler might optimize that)
However you should always optimize for code readability first and only do things that negatively impact readability in favor of performance IF you have evidence that performance in that one thing is a serious issue.
Even if the compiler does not optimize that, the performance difference will be in the order of microseconds, so not worth the negative readability cost.
