Question

DEF Not performing as expected

Whats wrong with DEF? The help says that the variables are "handled as local" so as not to interfere with other variables of the same name. But that is not the case. I can still change and read the variables from outside DEF-END range! Is this a glitch or am I misinterpreting this? I also have to set each variable to 0 at the beginning of each DEF.

    It looks like it works as expected only when DEF is in a different slot. Is that really the how its supposed to work?

    It's because you didn't define B again. Example: ACLS VAR B B=90:TEST B=50:TEST DEF TEST VAR B B=B+1 ?B END That should work.

    What Zee said. To avoid this altogether, just don't use same-name variables when working with DEF. Nothing should stop you from using B1 or B2 or TEST2.

    Also, if you want to put parameters into your commands, you can do this: DEF TEST B B=B+1 PRINT "B=";B END Then you can type TEST 10 and it will say B=11!

    @Zee: Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted! @L: One of the reasons I wanted them to be local variables was so I could create commands that could be used in other peoples programs without knowing what variable names they've already used. I just makes sure that it will work properly under all circumstances. Thanks for everyone's replies!
