Just a very quick question is it true there is no longer gosub in Blitzmax? A quick yes/no would be great for anyone who knows. Thanks. |
| ||
no. |

Just a very quick question is it true there is no longer gosub in Blitzmax? no. Actually, yes, its true. There is no Gosub in Blitzmax. |
| ||
Thanks. |

A gosub is just like a Function isn't it? |
| ||
"A gosub is just like a Function isn't it?" Kinda, may coding style us totally gosub based. It was part of Blitz's attraction to me. Not a big deal, Blitz 3d will be around for a while yet so plenty of time for me to find a replacement language. |
| ||
What have you been using before Blitz? Just curious. |
| ||
Nothing, I got back into coding (after a ten year break) just becase Blitz was so old school and easy to use :) |
| ||
You choose your language based on whether it has gosub or not? o_O |
| ||
Beaker, yeah :) I know its kind of strange. But old dogs and habits. Anyhow no big deal, I just use Blitz to play around with and make mini games and B3d will be around for a while so its not like its an impending problem for me. Thanks everyone for the reponses, its appreciated. I dont want to derail the B3d forum with my OT topic. |

Goto Blah This won't happen #Blah Works for me. |

1) Not in strict mode. 2) Besides he was asking for gosub. Anyway, no BlitzMAX does not have a Gosub statement, and yes Functions are functionally equivalent (no pun intended). |
| ||
1) Not in strict mode. Ooh, never noticed that. 2) Besides he was asking for gosub Ha ha... Well that's what happens when you post past your bed time ;) Actually I have a blind spot for Gosubs, since I've never used it in any version of Blitz to date. |
| ||
I havne't used gosub since 1987. :) |
| ||
Gosub should be made ilegal. Reminds me of programming basic on the acorn/bbc had to number every f**kin line. |
| ||
Reminds me of when I used to get 2 program lines with the same number on the Oric-110 Print "Hello" 20 goto 10 20 goto 10 30 Rem oops...O.o |
| ||
For God's sake, learn what a function is. It takes little more effort than a gosub does. |
| ||
Terabit - I've learned your secret! - GOTOs! I'm going to go back now and rewrite everything I've ever written, and be as clever as you! |

I like the notion of preserving the ideological difference between subroutines and functions - doesn't C only muddle them to keep the keyword count down? [Runs away and hides] |
