How to carry variables over from a function

[Mars]

How do you make it so that you can use the variables and their values that were declared in a func outside of that function?

[Authenticity]

Using the Global keyword as opposed to Local or Dim.

[Mars]

I haven't been declaring them of any type so I'm guessing you just put global before the variable?

[Authenticity]

Yes, otherwise, local is assumed. I think.

Yes, otherwise, local is assumed. I think.

Local is only assumed if the variable is declared within a function (or used in a For/Next eg. For $i where $i would be declared local unless otherwise stated previously, if declared this way, it will be destroyed like a Local variable after the For/Next loop expires).

Example of standard global distinction:

$s_example1 = "apple"
_badwaytodoit()

Func _badwaytodoit()
    MsgBox(64, "$s_example1", $s_example1)

Okay that worked thanks. I learned autoit through playing around with it but right now I am in C++ classes and I will probably get in the habit of declaring variable types from now on.
