is there any way to make turing recognize a procedure without actually making the whole thing? what i mean is, is it possible to just declare that the procedure will exist, then define it later? i need this because i have a procedure that needs to call another procedure that is further down in the code. (no, i can't just change their positions) |

look into forwarding procedures and functions. What you are talking about is mutual recursion. |
