Computer Science Canada Why can't you call a function as input to your proc? |

Example the code i attempted:
The input fcn in itself works perfectly, though i wanted to call it when you make a new word for your box, as a proc parameter. kinda like a type as you go deal, and it will finish the proc after your fcn (which is basicly like "get" with features) I suppose i could just put it in the proc, but i was wondering why it wont call the fcn in its parameter. |

because in Turing you can't assign parameters default values, or assign a parameter any kind of value in the declaration (you can in Ruby though!). Personally, I don't see what's wrong with having your function being called from within the procedure itself anyways |

because a parameter is a placeholder for the value you pass (actually you could pass a function and execute that internally). havin a constant function there does not make sense |
