pass an array to function

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/pass an array to function

Hi

Quick question. Is there an easy way to pass a non-global array to a function, e.g.

dim b$(100,100)

myfunction(b$)
end

function myfunction(b$)
stuff
end function

which doesn't work.

Thanks

Arrays are global, you don't need to pass them.

You can pass 'blitz' arrays tho:

Local b$[4] ; has to be one dimensional

b[1] = 20
myfunction(b)

End

Function myfunction(c$[4])
;stuff
End Function
