u are trying to call a futtion in a array? Eh

arrays are things that holed more then one of the same data type and futtions are like miny progames. so u can't put fucttions in arrays.

u call a procedure in a procedure the same way u whould a procedure that is not in a procedure. just do not put the code for a procedure in a procedure, put it above it like u ushely whould

I believe that the poster is saying this:

code:

procedure one
procedure two
end two
end one


This is not possible in Turing. Do not attempt to do it. Arrays work like this:


var nameOfArray : array 1..# of [type]


Procedures:


procedure procName
[contents]
end procName


More info?
Rite here.

you actually can have arrays of functions Very Happy

code:

fcn test1 () : int
    result 1
end test1
fcn test2 () : int
    result 2
end test2
fcn testThree () : int
    result 3
end testThree

var fcnArray : array 1 .. 3 of fcn test () : int

fcnArray (1) := test1
fcnArray (2) := test2
fcnArray (3) := testThree

for i : 1 .. 3
    put fcnArray (i) ()
end for


probably not was he needs tho

Fo' the Shiznit?!?!?!?!?!

that is pretty cool.

Though do you have to initialize the array of functions like that? (Just can't be satisfied Razz )

eh? Confused well this is exactly how turing's GUI works. You know how you specify which procedure gets called when you create a button? That procedure gets passed as an argument and is saved in one of internal variables of the button module (or w/e GUI element).

In fact - you could write and export a method that could change the procedure to be called, so same button could do multiple functions depending on various conditions

no something like this
procedure start
code with procedures/functions/processes
end start
start button code

whenever i try to put procedures/functions/processes in a procedure it says it has ot be at the monitor level. Is there a comand i can call procedures in procedures and so forth or at least put them in 1 procedure?

why do want other procedures in another procedure?
Author:  AsianSensation [ Sun Apr 11, 2004 1:46 pm ]
Post subject: 
if you really want to do procedures in another procedure, use modules, it's not technically proc in proc, but it's close enough. Though I agree with Catalyst, why would you?

the reason you can't declear a procedure within another procedure is because each time that outter procedure is called, inner one would have to be decleared again Confused But even if you could do that, I fail to see the reasoning behind it...

the reason is that i have a start button on a menu screen. Its a sanke game. When i press the start button the game is supposed to start. When the game start all the code should start. Now the button has a procedure. And the game has a procedure. So i have to call procedures for the game inside the start button procedure. Ill look into modules. But if anyone can figure this out it would be helpful.

calling a procedure inside another isnt the same as declaring it inside another
why wouldnt something like this work?

code:



%% intro goes here

proc game
   %%Game goes here
end game


proc start
   game
end start
