Mechaflash Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I will allow one stab at my ignorance per user Why doesn't $iOne evaluate? $iApple = 0 $iOne = 0 _test($iApple) msgbox(0,"",$iOne) Func _test($iOne) $iOne+=10 Return EndFunc Spoiler “Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds.

BrewManNH Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) $iOne in your function is a local variable, unrelated to the global variable with the same name. You'd need to pass it ByRef for the function to update the Global variable.EDIT:Actually the way you're doing it, you'd need to use a different variable name in the function call Func _test($iTwo), because the variable inside your function is actually referencing the $iApple variable that was passed to the function.

Mechaflash Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Then that makes me ask... why is it required to declare the same amount of arguments as there are passed from the function? What's the point of it? For example: $iApple = 0 $iOne = 0 _test($iApple) msgbox(0,"",$iOne) Func _test($iOne, $iTwo) $iOne+=10 Return EndFunc $iApple = 0 $iOne = 0 _test($iApple) msgbox(0,"",$iOne) Func _test() $iApple+=1 Return EndFunc Neither are allowed because of ERROR: _test() called by a previous line with 1 arg(s) Edited February 22, 2012 by mechaflash213 Spoiler “Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me.

Developers Jos Posted February 22, 2012 Developers Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) That isn't required as you have the option for optional parameters and is totally unrelated. Default is that the value is passed down to the Func and you cannot screw up the original content of the Variable used in the Func call.

Developers Jos Posted February 22, 2012 Developers Share Posted February 22, 2012 See my example from the previous post.Have you RTFMed at all before asking these questions? It seems to me pretty clear that it is impossible to call a FUNC with a Pararmeter and have the FUNC declared without any.

Mechaflash Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Have you RTFMed at all before asking these questions?There's your one poke . I have the help file in front of me about the Func... Return ... EndFunc operation. I'm sorry that I don't get it as I've scripted mainly in windows batch, and functions technically don't exist, you can mimic them however, but it doesn't follow all the same rules as AutoIT has for functions.I think I got it now tho... tell me if I'm wrong:$iApple gets passed as an argument and $iOne captures it, no matter what.If you don't declare Const or ByRef, $iOne doesn't change $iApple, however, you can perform operations against $iApple in the function.If $iOne is declared a Const in the function, nothing is allowed to change it, however you can still change the value of $iApple.If $iOne is declared as a ByRef, whatever $iOne evaluates to is mirrored to $iApple inside and outside of the function.And am I right to say that RTFM evaluates to "Read The Fucking Manual" ?

Mechaflash Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Melba23 Just to be clear, if you just assign a value to a variable before declaring it, it is defaulted to a Global type? Same with DIM ing a variable? Spoiler “Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me.

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2012 mechaflash213,It is best not to use Dim as it forces AutoIt to determine the scope of the variable using its own simplistic logic - within a function = Local, elsewhere = Global. So merely declaring a variable does not set its scope to Global unless it is outside a function. It is much better coding practise to declare the scope explicitly yourself - then you can be sure that you have what you want.

JohnQSmith Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 And am I right to say that RTFM evaluates to "Read The Fucking Manual" ?That could be one interpretation, although I prefer "Read The Fantastic Manual".
