fonction in a fonction ?

[stefff285]

hi all

i go to be back scripting under hollywood with sprites and fonctions

my question is : is it possible to make fonction in fonction ?

i mean without any inconenience with rapidity of compiled programm
under os 4 and morphos 3.1 and aros ?

regards to all , thanx by advance and happy new year to all

Hello steff, why do you need to declare nested functions? Or you just want to call functions from inside other functions?

Example:

Code: Select all

Function mystuff2()
   ...
EndFunction
Function mystuff1()
   ...
   mystuff2()
EndFunction

As you see mystuff1() calls mystuff2(), is what you are trying to ask?

[djrikki]

Unless he means a recursive function which is also possible.

hello gentlemen !

yes i would like to execute a fonction inside another to be executed before

then my question is : is it possible ? and then is it good for pegasos 1
for example as now i sold mine

regards to you

Sorry Steff, but I'm not able to get the point, can you try to explain with a little example what are you trying to do?

[stefff285]

hello allanon thanx for reply

the fact is that i did begun fonctions yesterday
and well seemed to understand that the main fonction
can have on itselft other fonctions declared before

in fact my questions was : is it possible to declare
a fonction inside another one ? or as i believe to declare
the first one and after make a main fonction to call it
in ?

i have to try to see and then test sprite more deeper

thanx a lot

Your English is hard to understand. Functions are called from within other functions.

hello mazze

yes my english is a pity !!

but you answered to me

i have now the way to test fonctions

thanx a lot yet

Hi steff,
generally a program is divided in two parts, a declaration part (usually in the beginning) followed by a sequence of operations like functions call or a single function call that do all your stuff.

EXAMPLE

Code: Select all

; Function declaration
Function my_func1()
   ; your stuff
EndFunction

Function my_func2()
   ; your stuff
EndFunction

; Execute your stuff
my_func1()
my_func2()

...or, using a main function:

Code: Select all

; Function declaration
Function my_func1()
   ; your stuff
EndFunction

Function my_func2()
   ; your stuff
EndFunction

Function main()
   my_func1()
   my_func2()
EndFunction

; Execute your stuff
main()

As you can see main() function call my_func1() and my_func2(), that's it, a function call inside another function as Mazze as stated, functions call can be nested where the only limit is your free memory, have a look at the "Functions" chapter in the Hollywood guide, you will find many interesting things like recursive function calls.

Hope this helps
